Data are recorded in the memory in the order of their arrival. Memory menu “Memory (Fn1)”: Max. number of stored data: TDA-300: 99 measurements TDA-3000: 9999 measurements Data security: In a TDA-300 the data will be lost if the battery is empty.
5 Data logger 5.1 Manual logging With manual logging (interval = off), you can record the measurement in the memory by using the REC key. REC will appear in the LCD display only when the REC key is pressed. The following can be logged: - the measured temperature, - the date (without “year”), - the TAG name and...
5 Data logger 5.2 Automatic logging The measured data are recorded in the memory at the preset interval. For automatic data logging, you must first set the interval. The following can be logged: - the measured temperature, - the date (without “year”), - the TAG name and - the user name.
5 Data logger How can I cancel the interval setting? Press the ESC key during setting, not the SET key. The display returns to the data logging screen (Fn3). 5.2.2 Starting data logging h Press the REC key. Data logging starts at the preset interval. The REC symbol light is on permanently.
5 Data logger 5.2.4 Checking data v See “Checking the logged data” on Page 32. It is possible to check the measured data on the memory screen (Fn1) during automatic data logging. The total number increases with each new measurement. Total number of recorded measurements...
Page 36
5 Data logger h Press the MENU/POWER key to display the TAG filter screen. h Press the UP key to change the setting to “ON”. h Press the SET key to activate the TAG filter. The TAG name is again displayed on the screen. h If you press the UP or DOWN key will now only see the data that have been stored under the TAG name.
5 Data logger 5.3.2 Searching data with a specific LOG No. (LOG jump) The more data you have, the more difficulties you will have in finding the required data. Using the LOG jump function you can search the required data number and display it readily on the screen.
5 Data logger 5.4 Deleting recorded data There are two ways of deleting the measured data in the memory. Delete? “Delete” means that only individual data will be deleted from the memory. v Chapter 5.4.1 “Deleting individual data only (delete?)” Clear all? “Clear all”...
5 Data logger h Press the SET key to delete the measurement. The total number is decreased by 1. How can I cancel the “Delete” function? Press ESC when you are asked “Delete?”. The memory screen (Fn1) is displayed again. If, afterwards, you press the ESC key twice, the instrument returns to normal display.
5 Data logger During deletion of the memory, a progress indication appears. If automatic data logging was active when the “Delete” function was started, it is ended. The instrument is “ready to measure” (REC blinks in the display). Do not press any key as long as deleting is in progress.
Page 41
5 Data logger h Press the SET key and the memory is automatically optimized. If you press the MENU/POWER key, the function is not executed. While defragmenting is in progress, it cannot be canceled. During defragmentation of the memory, progress is indicated.
6 Peak/Bottom value storage The minimum temperature (Bottom) and maximum temperature (Peak) can be stored by the TDA-300(0). Each of these two values is updated when the measured temperature is higher or lower than the stored value. Performing any of these functions will re-initialize peak/bottom storage and set the current temperature as the peak/bottom value: - when the battery has been replaced;...
6 Peak/Bottom value storage 6.2 Resetting the peak value h Press the MENU/POWER key in the peak value display; The “Peak reset?” message is shown on the screen. h If you press the SET key, the peak value is reset. h If you press the ESC key, the current peak value is retained.
7 User names This chapter describes how to handle user names. Different user names can only be implemented with the handheld TDA-3000. This enables different users (persons) to acquire data at the same or at different measurement points using the same instrument.
Page 46
7 User names A list of characters is shown, including the one selected at the moment. The cursor (blinking) indicates the present position. Use the UP/DOWN keys to select a list. Use the LEFT/RIGHT keys to select a character. SET key: Accept entry ESC key: Cancel entry Query whether the currently selected character should be deleted.
8 Configuration This chapter deals with the possibilities provided by the configuration menu “Setup (Fn9)”. From normal display, start the configuration menu as follows: h Press the MENU/POWER key until “Fn9” and “Setup” are displayed and then press the SET key. You are now in the configuration menu and are able to set the parameters.
8 Configuration 8.3 Sensor type Type Select the sensor type connected. Select between: Pt100 (RTD), TC-K (thermocouple K), TC-J (thermocouple J) and TC-T (thermocouple T) factory-set: Pt100 h Press the UP ( ) or DOWN ( ) key to change between the individual sensor types.
8 Configuration 8.5 Decimal point (decimal place) Select the position of the decimal point. Select between: 0.1 = one decimal place and 1 = no decimal place factory-set: h Press the UP ( ) or DOWN ( ) key to change between the formats. h Press the SET key to activate the selected format.
8 Configuration 8.7 Digital filter D filter The TDA-300(0) has an integrated first-order digital filter. This filter is used to eliminate display flickering. You can set the filter time constant through this parameter. Select between: OFF and 1 to 100 seconds (OFF = filter not active) factory-set: h If the parameter is set to “OFF”, press the UP key ( ) once to set the filter time constant.
8 Configuration If switch-off is not active (OFF), then press the UP key once to activate it. Afterwards, you can alter the time as described. 8.9 Locking Lock Different menus and individual parameters can be protected against accidental alteration through this parameter; the display for the current settings remains visible.
