  • Page 26 Note: When sampling an AC line waveform, should the value of the applied waveform be approximately lower than the trigger threshold when the sample interval times out, the DI-2160 will erroneously indicate that power was removed for the entire sample interval. To overcome this problem use the Event Mode to...

  • Page 27: Event Mode

    DI-2160 Event, State, and Count Data Logger Event Mode Use the Event mode to record when an event occurs. An Event is a single occurrence within a sample interval. Even though multiple events may occur within a sample interval, only one will be recorded. Only leading edge transitions are reported.
  • Page 28 DI-2160 Event, State, and Count Data Logger High Speed Counter Mode Use the High Speed Counter Mode to find the sum of the number of events occurring within a sample interval. For example, a machine produces an average of 80 parts per minute over 420 total minutes of operating time (7 hours).
  • Page 29 DI-2160 Event, State, and Count Data Logger AC Counter Mode Use the AC Counter Mode to count AC power on/off within a sample interval. This mode is optimized to ignore 50/60 Hz power line transitions and to change state only when power is removed or applied. For example, a 120 VAC pump turned on 5 times during a sample interval of 30 minutes.
  • Page 30 DI-2160 Event, State, and Count Data Logger AC vs HS Counter Modes The decision to apply the DI-2160’s HS (high-speed) or AC (alternating current) counter mode depends upon what information is desired from the measurement. The high-speed counter mode is used when you need to total each pulse that occurs within a sample interval.
  • Page 31 DI-2160 Event, State, and Count Data Logger Reported Data Access recorded data by removing the USB drive from the DI-2160 and inserting it into USB port of the computer. The .csv output file is formatted to allow easy analysis of your recorded data. The first rows contain general information including the file name, device name, and sample interval.
