Data Storage and Retrieval

Comma Delimited Format, send (recalled data)

The two fields on the right of the 3200 setup send display, below temperature, allow the user to
select the measurement parameters that will be sent. Each of the two fields, (last two fields of the
report) can be set to read one of the following parameters:

• Conductance
• Conductivity
• Resistance
• Resistivity
• Salinity
• Total dissolved solids

NOTE: When sending recalled data, the units cannot be selected from the Setup send menu,

since they were already selected when the readings were previously stored.

After you have selected the parameters, press [MODE] once, to return to the Send Setup menu, or
three times to return to Operation mode.

DATA LOGGING

The 3200 can be setup to automatically send results to a computer or serial printer via the RS232
port at a user selected time interval from 5 to 1800 seconds (30 minutes).

From the Data menu, press the [SND SETUP] soft key, then press the [SET SEN] soft key. The
following screen will be displayed.

[0] S interval

Setting the S interval parameter to a value other than zero programs the 3200 to automatically
send the current readings via the RS232 serial port. This allows data to be logged to a computer
or serial printer. The S interval is the number of seconds between transmissions. For example, if
the S interval is set to 30, every 30 seconds the 3200 will send the current readings over the
RS232 port.
