Data Logging; Printing; Serial; Parallel - 3M QUESTEMP 36 Operator's Manual

A series of dashes appear in the display if one of the following occur:
• the Heat Index or Humidex is outside of its allowable range
• the temperature is outside of its allowable range
• a temperature sensor has failed
• stay times temperatures are outside of the their defined range
STAY TIME DATA
The screen(s) displaying stay time data appear different for each of the
possible indices.

7. DATA LOGGING

Data from each sensor is recorded at the interval set by the logging rate. Every time
RUN STOP is pressed, a session is either started or ended in memory. Each
session contains a header with time, date, and summary information.

8. PRINTING

The recorded data can be sent to a computer through the serial RS232 port or to a
parallel printer. Serial transmission requires Quest cable #54-715. Parallel
transmission requires Quest cable #56-875. With the cable plugged in, select
PRINT from the menu and press the I/O ENTER key to enter the PRINT mode.
Begin printing by pressing the I/O ENTER key. Press the key again to abort
printing.

SERIAL

TM
QuestSuite software is recommended for downloading, storing, and
graphing your data. Communications programs such as Window's
Hyperterminal may also be used to capture the printout into a file. The baud
rate is fixed at 9600.

PARALLEL

Data can be sent directly to parallel printers that accept direct ASCII test input
without special drivers. Make sure the printer is powered on and is ONLINE,
ready to accept data, prior to printing.
