Analysing the SD card files
To take the SD card out, open the transparent interface cover (3) at the bottom of the
DULCOMARIN ® II case (shown open in Fig. 5).
Only pull the SD card (2) out of the card slot (1) if the "SD" identifier at the top right of the LCD
screen has a green background – not if it has a red background. The recorder is storing data
at this time. Wait for a short time in this case.
When the SD card has been taken out, the "SD" identifier at the top right of the LCD screen
disappears. The "!Please insert SD card!!" error message also appears in both the permanent
display and the central menu item.
Copy the SD card files to the PC using the card reader and erase the data on the SD card.
Refit the SD card (see above "insert SD card").
The file names have the following format:
YYMMDDPP.txt
where YY = year, MM = month, DD = day, P or PP = pool number
To save the measured data, the DULCOMARIN
copies and remove the write-protect under "Properties" on the PC.
Opening the file in EXCEL:
Open the file with "File" - "Open" - "Files of type: All Files" - select file - "Open".
Click "Next" In the Text Import Wizard that appears.
In the next window, under "Separators", check the Tab box and click "Finish".
If the number columns are left-justified, select them and set the cell format to "Number".
To create charts, only use the "XY (scatter)" chart type.
IMPORTANT
If you have the changed the DULCOMARIN
take this into account in the analysis!
