Advanced Key Combinations
+
Printing Data Block Summary
This will print a summary showing the memory status (bytes free and used) and the number
of data blocks that are currently retained. Each data block contains the data that was
downloaded from a logger.
+
Printing Data Block and List Summary
This will print a list of all data blocks stored in memory showing:
- the data block number,
- the serial number of logger the data block is for,
- and the first few characters of the description for that logger.
The last logger read will be stored in the data block with the highest data block number.
+
Battery Check
This will check the condition of the battery and print the results. The precise battery voltage is
also printed out during the test. This allows you to use previous experience in judging the
battery condition. The following table shows available conditions:
Condition Action
Excellent
Do not charge the battery.
Good Ready for general use.
OK Ready for light to medium use.
Fair Should be charged.
Poor Definitely charge before using.
NOTE: If the test starts to print then stops without producing the correct test summary then
the battery definitely needs charging.
+
Deleting the Last Data Block
This will delete the last data block in memory. This allows memory to be freed and/or previous
data blocks to be accessed for printing.
Note: Although some ChartReaders can store a large number of data blocks they should not
be used as an archive (a place to permanently store readings from loggers). Once a data
block has been printed and/or downloaded to a PC via the ESCORT user software it should
be deleted. Doing so will increase the overall speed performance of the ChartReader.
In addition, you are only able to delete all of the data block via the ESCORT Console
software. You can manually delete each data block via the ChartReader one record at a time.
CAUTION: Once a data block is deleted it cannot be retrieved!
