7.2.1.2 Settings for the Fastest Possible Measurement Data Recording

SensorTools can record very fast processes with recording intervals
from approx. 50 μs (H3) or 300 ms (M3), if the corresponding set-
tings have been made:
▪ Use pyrometer with RS485 interface and interface converter
RS485 to USB if necessary.
▪ Set the latency time to 1 ms in the Windows Device Manager for
the USB interface used (see 4.1.5.2).
in the data collection window (in the device connecting tab or in
the control window via "Device configuration"):
1. Data format: Single measured value (fastest).
2. Data mode: Buffer mode.
3. Baud rate: 921600 Baud.
4. Activate "Automatic interval adjustment".
▪
Adjust data recording settings (in the device connection area
or in the graph window):
Set the value under "Maximum data sets in memory" to 10000
and take over with the "Enter" key.
INFO
The value has been determined experimentally and can be set higher or lower depending on the PC
configuration (setting range between 500 and approx. 10 million). With higher values, buffer overflows may
occur, which are shown in the graph window after a short time by vertical bars. Then the value should be set
lower (also see the description

SensorTools Viewer: Graphical Measurement Data Playback

The SensorTools Viewer is an independent program for graphic display and evaluation of measured value
data. It opens in the language set in SensorTools.

7.3.1 Load / Open Measurement Data File(s)

▪ Up to four measurement data files can be loaded and displayed in a viewer window, in addition to it sev-
eral viewer instances can be opened:

- Via drag-and-drop, e.g. from the Windows Explorer files can be dragged directly into the viewer.
- Double-clicking on a measurement data file opens its own viewer window and displays all measurement
data in the window.
