SD Data Card to PC Data Transfer
1.
Complete a Datalogging session as detailed above in the previous sections. Hint: For the
first few tests, simply record a small amount of test data. This is to ensure that the
Datalogging process is well understood before committing to critical, large scale
Datalogging.
2.
With the meter switched OFF, remove the SD Card.
3.
Plug the SD Card directly into a PC SD card reader. If the PC does not have an SD card slot,
use an SD card adaptor (available at most outlets where computer accessories are sold).
4.
Power on the PC and run a spreadsheet software program. Open the saved documents in
the spreadsheet software program (see example spreadsheet data screen below).
RS-232/USB PC Interface
For streaming of data to a PC via the RS232 Output jack (3.5mm), the optional 407001-USB kit
(RS232 to USB cable and driver CD) along with the 407001 software (available free at
www.extech.com/SDL470) are required.
AC Power Adaptor
This meter is normally powered by six (6) 1.5V 'AA' batteries (located in the rear battery
compartment). When the adaptor is used, the meter is permanently powered on and the power
button will be disabled.
