Datalogger Operation
The 0250 can serve as a fi eld data logger that downloads data directly into a *.csv (Comma Separated Value) fi le.
Note: The 0250 does NOT have internal memory to store data. It must be connected to a computer to use the datalog function.
• Select the sensor type, click on "Read".
• Click Monitor/Verify Sensor to open a datalog setup window.
• Enter the Logging Interval. This value represents the time between log records.
The minimum interval is 1 second, and the maximum interval is 86400 seconds (24 hours). Example: If the Log Interval is set to
60 seconds, the 0250 will record the temperature once every minute.
• The 0250 saves data fi les in *.csv format. The maximum number of records allowed for this type of fi le is 65535.
If the logging interval is 60 seconds, the largest fi le possible is 65535 records, or 1092 hours of continuous recorded data.
• To initiate a log session click Begin Monitor or Begin Log to File.
Begin Monitor
• This function starts monitoring the sensor output and displays values on a graph, but does not store the data permanently. During
the monitoring session the Begin Log to File and Save Log functions are disabled, while the Pause and End Log functions are
enabled. Save Log enables a monitoring session to be saved immediately after End log is clicked.
Begin Log to File
• This function prompts the user to create a fi le on a computer drive before it starts monitoring. The system then begins recording the
sensor output and display values on a graph. During a Log-to-fi le session the Begin Monitor and Save Log functions are disabled,
while the Pause and End Log functions are enabled.
