Data Logging
The Gas Tracer features the ability to log data to its internal memory
and download it to a computer via the infrared communications port
located just below the RESET SILENCE button. It logs bump test data,
calibration data, and event data. No interval trend or alarm trend data
is saved.
NOTE: Although interval trend and alarm trend data are not saved,
the Gas Tracer saves snap log data. For a description of the
snap logging function, see “Snap Log Mode” on page 28.
To utilize the Gas Tracer’s downloading capability, you will need the
Gas Tracer downloading software and a computer with an infrared
port or a USB port that runs one of the following operating systems:
Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7. If your computer has an
infrared port, then no additional accessories are needed to download
data from the Gas Tracer. If your computer does not have an infrared
port but does have a USB port, a USB/IrDA adapter cable can be used
to download data from the Gas Tracer using a USB port. The
downloading software is available from RKI Instruments, Inc. The
adapter cable is also available from RKI or may be purchased at a
computer or electronics supply store.
For a complete description of the downloading software and
procedures for downloading data to a computer, see the GX-2012 Data
Logger Management Program Operator’s Manual.
SDM-2012
The Gas Tracer can be used with the SDM-2012 if desired. The SDM-
2012 can charge the instrument if the lithium ion battery pack is being
used. It can also bump test, calibrate, and retrieve saved data. The
SDM-2012 can be operated as a single, stand-alone unit or can be used
with up to 9 other SDM-2012s and operated using a computer. For
more information about the operation of the SDM-2012, see the SDM-
2012 Standalone Configuration Operator’s Manual or the SDM-2012
PC Controlled Configuration Operator’s Manual.
