TORING AND
The HD32.1 instrument can be connected to a personal computer via an RS232C serial port or USB
port, and exchange data and information through the DeltaLog10 software running in a Windows
operating environment. It is possible to print the measured values on a 80 column printer ( PRINT
key) or store them in the internal memory using the Logging function (MEM key). If necessary, the
data stored in the memory can be transferred to a PC later.

7.4.1 The Logging Function

The Logging function allows recording of the measurements registered by the probe connected to
the inputs. The time interval between two consecutive measurements can be set from 15 seconds to
1 hour. The logging starts by pressing the MEM key and ends by pressing the same key again: The
data memorized in this way form a continuous block of data.
See the description of the menu items on chapter " 5. MAIN MENU" .
If the automatic turning off option between two recordings (see par. 5.2.2 Self Shut-off mode ) is
enabled, upon pressing the MEM key the instrument logs the first data and turns off. 15 seconds
before the next logging instant, it turns on again to capture the new sample, and then turns off.
The data stored in the memory can be transferred to a PC using a command (see par. 5.2.5 Log File
Manager). During data transfer the display shows the message DUMP; to stop the data transfer
press ESC on the instrument or on the PC.

7.4.2 The Erase Function: clearing the memory

To clear the memory use the Erase Log function (see par. 5.2.5 Log File Manager ). The instrument
starts clearing the internal memory; at the end of the operation, it goes back to normal display.
NOTES:
• Data transfer does not cause the memory to be erased: The operation can be repeated as many
times as required.
• The stored data remain in the memory independently of battery charge conditions.
• In order to print the data to a parallel interface printer, you must use a parallel-serial adaptor (not
supplied).
• The direct connection between instrument and printer via a USB connector does not work.
• Some keys are disabled during logging . The following keys are enabled: MEM , SETUP ,
ENTER and ESC .
• Pressing the MEM and SETUP keys has no effect on the logged data if these keys are pressed
after starting the recording, otherwise the following is valid.

7.4.3 The Print Function

Press PRINT to send the measured data directly to the RS232 or USB ports, in real time. Print data
units of measurements are the same as those used on the display. The function is started by pressing
PRINT . The time interval between two consecutive prints can be set from 15 second to 1 hour
(please see the Print interval menu item at par. 5.3.2 The Print Interval). If the print interval is
equal to 0, by pressing PRINT the single data is sent to the connected device. If the print interval is
higher than 0, the data transfer continues until the operator stops it by pressing PRINT again. The
"PN" message is displayed at the top of the display.
NOTE: When setting the baud-rate, check the printer speed.
