5 DATA OUTPUT

On principle, there are three interfaces existing at the datalogger for the data output:
With the serial interfaces COM1 and USB it is possible to query the data of the datalogger via a
cable from another computer. Via the both serial interfaces it is possible to wake-up the datalogger
(Display on), with sending a byte, therefore it is not necessary to wake-up with the "<∇>"ON -key.
The serial data output can be carried out manually (only COM1) or by remote-control (ref. to chap.
5.5 for commands).
For the reading out of data you can use a usual terminal program (e.g. "Terminal" of WINDOWS,
general settings for COM1see following Table 6). For communication via USB also a terminal
program can be used, but here a configuration is not necessary (ref. to chap. 5.4)
The serially transmitted data are output as ASCII-files (clear text). Thus, you are in a position, to
see your data records with word processors, as well, to process them and to print them out.
Herewith, you are also in a position to follow up your data via the ASCII-interface with standard-
software such as spread sheet, data bases etc.
Furthermore it is possible to upload a firmware over COM1.
The data written on the SD-Card are saved in the same ASCII form as over the serial interfaces.
