Overview - Intab PC-Logger 2100 User Manual

OVERVIEW

A "PC-logger 2100" together with our software and a personal computer running
™
Windows , constitutes a versatile and powerful data acquisition/recording
system.
PC-logger 2100 is a complete logger useful for many purposes. It will, for
example, easily replace/outdate any strip chart recorder.
The logger measures the full range of industrial analogue signals: +/-10V, +/-1V
and +/-20mA. It is also possible to directly connect thermocouples for
temperature measurements. Cold Junction compensation and linearization are
internally handled by the logger. It is also possible to measure temperature by
means of RTD's (e.g. Pt100 sensors).
In addition to the analogue inputs the logger is equipped with 3 counter inputs.
These can be used for event (pulse) counting, e.g. flow, rpm, etc.
Recordings can be made directly to the storage media on the host computer
(On-line recordings) or temporarily to the internal memory in the logger.
(Off-line recordings) During Off-line recordings there is no need for the host
computer to be connected to the logger. This way the computer can be used for
other purposes during off-line recordings.

- Constant current source suitable for Pt100 measurements.
- On-line recording directly to computer.
- Off-line recordings using internal memory of 224KB.
- Voltage output for transducers etc.
- Display and keys for easy handling.
- Fully compatible with Intab's "EasyView Pro"
- Small dimensions: 250 x 110 x 40mm.
To fully understand the potential of the PC-logger 2100 we strongly recommend
the studying of this entire manual with emphasis on chapter 3 which describes
how to connect sensors and transducers.
How the PC-logger is handled using our software and a PC is explained in the
program manual and by the program itself through its user-friendly and self-
explanatory menus.
Those users who intend to write their own software to collect data are
recommended to obtain the "Command Manual" that describes available
commands and their syntax.
