- File options: The selected option is displayed in the main win-
dow (colored) above the graph with: pyrometer model and serial
number, file name and a running number.
- Overwrite File (red): Overrides the same file with each new
recording.
- Create new file (orange) creates a separate file for each re-
cording.
- Append data (green): With each new recording, the new val-
ues are appended to the previous one.
- Specify file name (violet): Each time a recording is started,
first a window opens in which memory name and location
must be entered.
- Storage interval: Writes a reading in the file with the set storage
interval. At 0.0 s, the storage is done as fast as possible (de-
pending on baud rate and buffer mode).
- Automatic recording by:
- Active control (shows only effect when equipped with a PID
controller): Starts recording automatically when a controller-
start takes place (also at an external start).
- Active I/O port: Starts recording when a digital input or output is active. The port selection will be done
at I/O port at the bottom of the window.
- Back-time recording: If the record button is pushed (or recording is activated by active I/O port and set-
ting "automatic recording by active I/O port" is checked), values are stored retroactively for the entered
time but only as many, as entered under "Maximum data sets in memory".
- Automatic end of recording by:
- Inactive control (shows only effect when equipped with a PID controller): Stops recording when a con-
trol process is stopped (even with automatic or external stop, error, etc.).
- Inactive I/O port: Stops recording when a digital input or output is disabled.
- Post-record of recording: recording can be continued for a while if control process is stopped, e.g. to
record a cool down process
- Maximum data sets in memory: Number of measured value data sets that are buffered for display in the
graph window or for back-time recording or when the SensorTool Viewer is opened. In addition to the
measuring temperature, a measured value dataset also contains emissivity, device temperature and pos-
sibly more (depending on buffer mode settings, see 7.3.2.4).
Between 500 and 10 million records can be set. Higher values mean that e.g. in the graph window, when
switching the time scale setting of the x-axis, more values can be displayed again. Even if post-record of
recording is activated, more data can be stored retroactively. Also the number of values that are trans-
ferred to the Viewer by pressing the play button (
|INFO|
As soon as the data amount has reached the set value and new measured values are added con-
tinuously, the oldest ones are also continuously deleted. The higher the set value, the higher the power
demanded by the PC. If the computer is not able to perform this task, buffer overflows occur, which are
represented in the graph window by continuously redrawn vertical bars. Then the value must be set lower
until the display works correctly.
- As I/O port an digital input as well as output can be selected.
|INFO|
If an output is used, the assigned function can be used for controlling the automatic recording, for
example for automatic recording when a certain temperature is exceeded (limit switch activated).
