Data Entry Using The Rs-232 Interface; Accessing And Leaving The Menu - Siemens SITRANS FUH1010PVDX Operating Instructions Manual

Section 2
The datalogger contains data that has its fields separated by commas. By using the file extension ".csv"
(comma separated values) suggested earlier, the data will import directly into MS Excel without any
further modification. For the waveshape data, the fields are separated by spaces, therefore, it is best to
save those files as ".txt", then use the MS Excel Import Wizard to select "Space Delimiters" for importation
of the data.
Site data is downloaded in plain text and can be imported directly into MS Word.

2.7.5 DATA ENTRY USING THE RS-232 INTERFACE

The following is a step-by-step example of how to enter data for a Single-Channel FUH1010PVX flow
computer using the RS-232 interface and a communications program. Again, don't let the size of the
Installation Menu intimidate you. Most menu cells contain default parameters. You need only access the
menu cells that control a needed parameter, such as the pipe outer diameter.

Accessing and Leaving the Menu

Make sure the Menu Lockout Switch is in the correct position. Connect the serial interface cable
between the flow computer and your laptop computer.
Run HyperTerminal (or your choice of communication program) using settings explained previously.
In Command Mode, type [menu 1000]; press <ENT> to select the top level of the Installation Menu.
NOTE: Type <Menu> to enter Installation Menu. After programming is complete, repeated <Left
Arrow> key will access the Flow Display. Key <Enter> from Flow Display to re-enter menu.
Key <Ctrl L> to exit menu.
Note on the screen above that there are two columns, a left-hand and a right-hand side. The first left-
hand item, [Meter Type], is highlighted (reversed). [Meter Type] allows you to choose a configuration
from the right-hand column list (on Single Channel models, there is only a single channel). The next
left-hand selection is Meter Facilities. Use this menu to set global options and controls.
