Before Operation
• Reads and displays report files.
• Converts the data format to “ASCII,” “Lotus,” or “Excel” formats.
• Prints the displayed data (a printer is required).
For the operation procedure of Historical Viewer, see chapter 4.
• Software Configurator
Software Configurator is started from Software Manager.
Software Configurator is used to assign recorder numbers of DAQLOGGER to the
recorders that are connected. It is also used to set the configurations of the recorders
and communication parameters. DAQLOGGER scans and records the data based on
the information specified here.
The settings are as follows:
• Type of communication (RS-232, RS-422, and Ethernet).
• Port, address, baud rate, parity, and stop bit if RS-422 is used.
• Port, baud rate, parity, and stop bit if RS-232 is used.
• Address, login name, user ID, and password if Ethernet is used.
• Type of recorder that is connected, number of measurement channels, and number
of computation channels.
• Standalone model/expandable model, style number, options, and subunit/module
configuration if DARWIN is used.
Software Configurator includes a function that automatically determines and
registers the model of the recorder that is connected to the specified communication
port (Parameters can be set one by one as some models are not determined
automatically).
For the operation procedure of Software Configurator, see section 2.6.
• Tag Editor
Tag Editor is started from Software Manager.
Tag Editor is used to assign the tags used by DAQLOGGER to the recorder’s
channels. A single channel can have multiple tags.
In addition, you can set names (character string) to the tags. The name is called a “tag
name.” Tag names can be read from the recorder via communications.
You can search tags by specifying the tag name, tag number, or recorder number.
For the operation procedure of Tag Editor, see section 2.7.
• Group Editor
Group Editor is started from Software Manager.
The tags that were set by Tag Editor can be assigned to groups, and the groups can
be assigned names. Up to 32 tags can be assigned to a single group.
Up to 50 groups can be assigned.
Data Monitor displays the data by groups that are specified here.
For the operation procedure of Group Editor, see section 2.8.
• Hardware Configurator
Hardware Configurator is started from Software Manager.
Edits the settings in the SET mode (Setting Mode) and SETUP mode (Basic Setting
Mode) of the recorder that is connected to the PC.
When Hardware Configurator is started for the first time, the initial setup screen
for the SET mode or SETUP mode is displayed based on the model, number of
measurement/computation channels, presence or absence of options (for DARWIN),
and module configuration (for DARWIN) that are specified by Software Configurator.
