4.6.3.3.2 Table Fill Times
The Table Fill Times tab lists the tables in the datalogger, along with the
maximum number of records the table can hold, the estimated amount of time
that it will take the table to fill, and the estimated date and time that the table
will fill based on the time the datalogger program was downloaded and the
table size. This fill information helps the user determine the collection
schedule that should be performed on the datalogger. Data should be collected
no less frequently than a user can afford to lose it. A data table can be reset
from this window by pressing the Reset Tables button.
Press Refresh to prompt RTDAQ to query and update the values.
Resetting a table will erase the data in the datalogger and in the
data cache. NOTE
4.6.3.3.3 Status Table Tab
The Status Table tab lists all of the status table fields in the datalogger along
with their values. By default, all of the fields in the status table are displayed.
To select only certain status data to be viewed, press the Select Fields button.
This will display a list of the status fields available in the datalogger. Select
one or more of the fields and then press OK. The current values will be
displayed in the table. If you select a cell within the status table and right
click, a short cut menu will be displayed. From this menu you can Select
Fields or View/Modify a value (if it is a writable value).
Press the Refresh button to prompt RTDAQ to query the datalogger and
update the values, the Save button to save the information being displayed to a
file, or the Print button to print the information being displayed.
4.6.3.4 File Control
The dataloggers used in RTDAQ have a built in file system much like a
computer hard disk. Multiple files can be stored in the datalogger's memory or
on a PC card, including data files, calibration files, and datalogger programs.
The dataloggers retain files in memory unless they are specifically deleted or
removed as part of a program change operation.
The File Control window is used to manage all the files on the dataloggers.
The Datalogger | File Control menu item opens File Control.
