Pscsv Software; Usb Or Rs-232C; Connecting - Arbiter Systems Portable Power Sentinel 933A Operation Manual

In the free-running mode, the clock drift is based on both the physical
characteristics of the clock and operating environment; namely, the
ambient temperature. Unlocked, the clock accuracy is less than 10 PPM
and less than 1 second per day, typical. Make sure to check and, if
necessary, set the clock time before important measurements. If not, time-
based measurements, such as set up under the Autolog mode, may not
occur as anticipated.
Synchronized to an IRIG-B signal, the accuracy will be 1 microsecond
plus the accuracy of the IRIG-B signal. The 933A indicates IRIG-B
synchronization with a symbol of a digital signal. The internal clock will
be set only if the IRIG-B is unmodulated and according to the IEEE 1344
standard.
Synchronized to the GPS, the accuracy is 1 microsecond. The internal
clock (time and date) will be set automatically.

PSCSV Software

PSCSV software is an included accessory with the 933A. It was developed
by Arbiter Systems to assist you in configuring the 933A, for managing
and downloading logged data. While most features are accessible from the
front panel, some are only available with PSCSV. See "PSCSV Basics" in
Chapter 6, and "Triggers and Event Recording" in Chapter 7.
2.5.1

USB or RS-232C

Connect to the 933A USB or RS-232C ports using PSCSV. Make sure that
PSCSV is installed on your PC and connect a suitable cable between them.
Included as an accessory is a DB-9F to RJ11 adapter and phone cord for
connecting between the 933A and RS-232C port on a computer. If your
computer does not have an RS-232 port, use a USB-to-RS-232 adapter.
2.5.2

Connecting

Before using PSCSV, make sure to read over the section on connecting
in Chapter 6, PSCSV Basics. It is necessary to manually connect to the
933A from the computer running PSCSV.
