When the increment direction is set to NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, or WEST, the gauge will auto-
matically move to the next storage location in the defined direction.
•
When the increment direction is set using NDT Link to NONE, you have to manually set the
increment direction in the gauge.
When a data file is open, you can navigate your way through the file using these increment
directions (for instance, to save a reading in an alternative location, or just to review
measurements):
Use the control button to select
direction required from the submenu items:
• NORTH
• SOUTH
• EAST
• WEST
Note: If you want to step quickly through storage locations in a single direction, follow the steps
above, and then continuously press and release the control button to move in the direction chosen.
11.5 SAVING READINGS IN A DATA FILE
To save readings in a data file:
1. Create a data file and transfer it to the gauge using NDT Link - see "Creating a Data Logger
File" on page 18.
2. Ensure the data logger file is enabled - see "Enabling the data logger" on page 18.
3. Take a reading - see "Measurement - Taking Readings" on page 14.
4. Press and release the control button.
The measurement value and data is saved to the current storage location of the data file.
The storage location is then advanced automatically in the direction defined.
Note: The storage location must be empty. If the storage location already contains measurement
data, the gauge will not take a measurement. Either clear the storage location, or move to an empty
location.
11.6 CLEARING A STORAGE LOCATION
To delete measurement data from a storage location:
1. Move to the storage location you want to clear - see "Moving Storage Location within a data
file" on page 18.
1. Use the control button to select
CLEAR
and then the storage location (i.e.
2. Press and release the control button.
The storage location is cleared.
12 DATA TRANSFER SOFTWARE
Software is available which allows data and settings to be transferred between your gauge and a
PC. Presently Elcometer supplies NDT Link software for this purpose.
To set-up other types of communications software:
1. Start the communications software.
2. Configure the software using the following parameters:
Data Bits - 8, Parity - None, Stop Bits - 1, Baud Rate 1200 (to print a report), or 9600 to
transfer data file.
