5.5 USB Interface
The waterproof USB interface provides both
communication between the Pooltest 25 and
a PC and an alternative mains power source via
the adaptor.
When connected the USB icon will appear, replacing
the battery icon in the Info Panel, as power will be
preferentially drawn from the external source.
The USB data interface has a choice of two
operating modes - Hard Drive and COM Port. The
current status of the USB connection is shown on
the Info panel when the USB lead is connected.
Toggle between COM Port and Hard Disk mode in the
System -> USB menu by selecting the desired option.
The USB connection supports software update and
data download through a simple 'drag and drop'
approach when operated in Hard Disk mode.
Hard Drive
The instrument appears as a removable hard
drive when connected to a PC in Hard Disk mode.
Upon connection the remote drive will have the
following files included:
• Pooltest 25_***.afx.*** where *
represent version numbers of software -
this is the operating software for the
Pooltest 25
• Log.txt - the data log file stored in a
comma separated value (csv) format
Operating software or calibration library can
be updated by dragging a new version to the
instrument.
Downloading the result log is carried out by
dragging the LOG.txt to the local desktop and
opening the file with any program that can open
CSV format files.
COM Port
The instrument behaves as if connected to the PC
serial port via RS232 when connected in COM
Port mode, allowing remote control from an
external software system and data upload.
This allows backwards compatibility with software
written for earlier models of Palintest instruments.
In this mode, the PC requires installation of
a USB virtual COM Port driver, available from
www.palintest.com/know, and the availability
of software operating as a terminal server.
A large number of third-party software systems
are available to provide data upload and remote
control of testing using the COM port mode.
Please contact your local Palintest representative
for more details.
5.6 Units
The Pooltest 25 offers the choice of result expressed
in mg/l, ppm, mmol/l, µmol, g/l and µg/l.
Changing the result units will not affect the result log.
