SECTION 4 : FUNCTIONS & FEATURES COMMON TO ALL GAUGES
24 MEASUREMENT - RECORDING YOUR READINGS
Your gauge is equipped with a data logger -. With a data file open, all your measurements are saved
into the file for later review and download to PC.
24.1 ABOUT THE DATA LOGGER
With a data file open, as you take measurements, the measurement data is stored in files in the
gauge memory.
D
ATA LOGGER FILE FORMAT
You have a choice of two different file formats:
•
Grid format: Similar to a spreadsheet format in which each cell is used to store a reading. Cells
are referenced by the row number (1 to 999) and the column label (A to ZZ).
•
Sequential format: A single column of up to 512 possible rows (readings), and a column of
corresponding identifiers associated with each individual reading. The identifier can be a
combination of up to 10 alphanumeric/special characters (see below), however it must not
start or end with a special character. Once a start and end ID are entered into the gauge and
the log created, the gauge automatically generates all the identifiers within that range.
D
ATA LOGGER FILENAME CHARACTER SETS
Any combination of the following characters can be used for file names and sequential format
identifiers:
•
Numeric characters: 0 - 9
•
Alpha Characters: A - Z
•
Special Characters: ! ' _ # space / . - ( )
W
HAT MEASUREMENT DATA IS SAVED
When a measurement is taken (irrespective of log file format), the following information is saved:
•
The reading value.
•
A screenshot, the nature of which will depend on what view the gauge was in at the time the
reading was taken. For example, if the view was in B-SCAN, then a B-SCAN screenshot will
be saved with the reading. This 'Save Graphics' option can be toggled on/off.
