generic names for input locations, and will not be able to display final storage
locations at all.
Options for mixed-array dataloggers are:
Minimize DLD Size – No input location labels or final storage labels are
saved in the DLD file.
Default – Up to 255 input location labels and all final storage labels are
saved in the DLD file.
All – All input location labels and all final storage labels are saved in the
DLD file.
8.4.3.2 Table-Based Dataloggers
Table-based (both TD and PB) dataloggers store all final storage labels in the
DLD file and there is no option to remove or reduce them. If you do not
include input location labels in the DLD file, you will not be able to display
input locations on the displays in PC400.
The label options for table-based dataloggers are:
Include All Input Location Labels – All input location labels are saved
in the DLD file.
Include First X Input Location Labels – Allows you to specify a certain
number of input location labels to be saved in the DLD file.
If you are trying to minimize the size of your DLD file but still want to be able
to monitor input locations on PC400’s Monitor Data tab, you can put all of the
labels that you want to view at the beginning of your list of input locations, and
put the labels for scratch and less important values at the end. Then, use the
second option above to display only those values of interest.
8.4.4 Power Up Settings/Compile Settings
These two options allow you to clear or retain settings for ports, flags, storage
locations, and timers when the datalogger is powered-up or when a program is
compiled. Whether it is advantageous to clear or retain these settings depends
on your application. For most applications, it is best to keep the default option
of Do not change current datalogger Power-up settings. The affected settings
are:
Port Status – The state of the ports (high/low) the last time the datalogger
was on.
Flag Status – The state of the flags (high/low) the last time the datalogger
was on.
User Timer – Allows you to continue timing events that occurred when
the datalogger was on last.
Input Storage – Allows the values that were stored in the input locations
before you turned the datalogger off to be included in the sample, average,
and total when you turn the datalogger back on.
Intermediate Storage – Allows data processing to continue from when
the datalogger was on last.
