Downloading Data from the Logger
Before you can generate graphs and tables from the data recorded by your
MicroDust pro, you must download it to your PC.
1.
Make sure the instrument is switched on and the communications
cable plugged into both the MicroDust and the appropriate serial port
on your computer.
2.
To start downloading, select
Download
from the
Comms
menu, or
click
.
The download sequence can be followed on the PC screen.
Data from individual sample runs will be saved in separate files with
each file being allocated a unique index number. (See Section 3.3.1.)

Presentation of Data
Three data presentation options are available: summary, graph and table.
When data is displayed using any of these options, use
from the
File
menu, or click
to print a hard copy of the current information or graph on
a printer attached on-line to your PC. The
File
menu offers
Print Preview
which allows you to check how the printed material will appear on the page.
Use
Copy
from the
Edit
menu, or click
to copy the current information
or graph to your PC clipboard, from where it may be pasted into other
applications. Data files that contain more than approximately 500 records may
be too large to be copied in this way. Therefore when they contain more than
500 records, it is recommended that they be imported using external
software such as Microsoft Excel or Word. See Section 3.5.4.
The font used to display the summary, graph scales and table can be
