Interface (only Plus-Version) The measuring instrument CLM1000 has a USB- interface. The USB-Interface: current measuring data and the stored data can be transferred cyclically in the CSV- mode. In addition, the provided transmission cable can be used. The CLM1000 uses internally a USB-RS232 converter. After the successful installation of the WINCLM program, the interface of the CLM1000 is recognized and can be used as COM Port on your computer.

The current and the stored measuring data can be stored, analyzed and Visualising visualized in the CSV- format with the visualising tool WINCLM. The Software: stored * csv file can be opened and processed with the usual spread- sheet programs. Example visualization WINCLM: The WINCLM software and the software description can be downloaded from the homepage of Christ-Elektronik GmbH.
Error handling The CLM1000 gives users warning of internal errors which occurred! If there is an error the display is red and displays the occurred error! Error Meaning Solution Internal error 1! Unplug the CLM1000 and plug it ERROR1 CLM1000 doesn’t start! again! If the error continues to exist the CLM1000 can’t be used.

Display and operation Display 128*64 Display with varying background lighting Control elements 3 membrane buttons Measuring principle and accuracy Measuring principle Voltage is measured directly at the load and current is measured by a precision shunt. Measuring rate approx. 1 second Sampling rate approx.
Question 1: The displayed current varies between 0 mA and 3 mA? Answer 1: The measured current almost corresponds to the one of the no-load operation's detection. As a result the displayed value varies between 0 mA (no-load operation detection) and the minimum measurable current of 2 mA. Consider the tolerance of +- 3 mA too.
Software and data evaluation Installation of the VCP driver If the driver is already installed, the computer will identify it during the Check the connection and a corresponding message will be displayed. installation of the driver Furthermore the CLM1000 will be indicated in the device manager, under the connections as USB serial port like USB serial port (COM 22).
Installation terminal software HTerm Terminal software such as Freeware HTerm is required to transfer the measured values to the computer. For example the software HTerm is available for download on the following Internet page: http://www.heise.de/download/hterm- eea223273b529eea4efb930f381de933-1378287065-2653283.html 1. Click the download button to start the download. Installation 2.
Configuration of HTerm 1. Connect the CLM1000 Professional Plus to the network and the computer. 2. Open the sub-point Connections (COM&LPT) in the device manager of the computer and note the COM-port of the CLM1000. Therefore open Start->System control->Hardware and sound-> Device manager- >Connections (COM&LPT).
