Data Recorder Trend Upload & Analysis

Uploading Data

Recordings can be transferred to a memory stick using the optional USB Port, or they can
also be uploaded directly to your PC or network with the software, via the configuration port
or RS485/Ethernet communications if fitted. To upload from a connected instrument, go to
the Device | Upload recorder Data menu in the software. Select a folder location and enter a
file name when prompted, then click Save. Enter the communications parameters for your
connection, and click OK to save the data in Comma Separated (.csv) format.

Analysing Data

The data can be opened and analysed with the PC software, or with any spreadsheet. It can
also be imported into other software that can interpret a .csv file.

To analyse a recording file in the PC software, go to the File | Open Trend menu. Locate and
open the .csv file. The recording opens with the analogue traces (process, power or setpoint
values) in the main window at the top, and digital traces (alarm or events statuses) below.

Note: Analysis with the PC software is limited to 8 analogue channels, so only
the first 8 will be displayed. The number of recorded alarms & events is not
limited.
