5. Introduction
either manually or automatically per cycle. Standard memory capacity is 500KB
- sufficient for up to 100,000 measured values. The memory can be organized
and configured in linear or ring form. Output is via the interface. Selection can
be specified according to a time interval or number.
All devices in the ALMEMO ® 2590A series can, by fitting an external memory
connector with a micro SD card, be upgraded to a high-capacity data logger.
With an external memory connector, available as an accessory, files can be read
out very quickly via any standard card reader.
Numbering of measuring operations
By entering a number single scans or entire series of measuring operations can
be identified and selectively read out from the memory.
Control ports
A relay trigger analog adapter can be used to provide up to 10 output relays,
and, as option, up to 4 analog outputs and 2 trigger inputs.
Operation
All measuring and function values can be displayed in different menus on the
dot matrix LCD screen. User menus can be individually configured from a range
of nearly 50 functions for your specific applications. You can use texts, lines,
and blank lines to arrange and format the layout in a style suited to your appli-
cation. Six keys (four of them softkeys) can be used to operate the device. This
system also allows you to fully program the sensors, the device and the process
control.
Output
All data logs, menu functions, saved measured values, and stored program pa-
rameters can be output to any peripheral equipment. RS232, RS422, USB, and
Ethernet interfaces are available using the appropriate interface cables. Meas-
ured data can be output in list, column, or table format. Files in table format can
be processed directly using any standard spreadsheet software. The print
header can be programmed to refer specifically to your company or to your ap-
plication.
Networking
All ALMEMO ® devices can be addressed and can be easily networked by
simply linking them together via network cable or for longer distances via RS422
network distributors.
Software
Each ALMEMO ® Manual is accompanied by the ALMEMO®-Control software
package, which can be used to configure the measuring instrument and user
menus, to program the sensors, and to read out from the measured value
memory. Using the integrated terminal, measuring operations can also be per-
formed online. The WINDOWS ® software package WINControl is provided for
the purposes of measured value acquisition via networked devices, for graphical
presentation, and for more complex data processing.
