Hach 3650 manual Saving Values, Printing Values, Clearing Stored Values

2.4.4 Saving Values

To save this list of measurements as a text (.txt) file, capable of being recalled by the WinLog97 program or imported as a file into other Windows programs, choose the Save As command from the File menu. A dialog box appears, with a space to fill in with an eight-letter name. (The program automatically attaches a .txt suffix to these files.) If you have saved previous files, a grayed-out list of these names appears as well. Typical to Windows programs, Directories and Drives boxes can be used to locate other places to save (e.g. on a floppy disk). You may also type the drive and directory yourself when saving the file.

2.4.5 Printing Values

To place this list of measurements into a tabular format and send it to the Windows printer, choose the Print command from the File menu. The program asks you to enter Title and Author information as illustrated in Fig 2-4. Note that the Date is fixed by your operating system.

Fig 2-4: Printed Sheet Information

The resulting printed list will include this information on each page.

2.4.6 Clearing Stored Values

To clear all the values stored in the analyzer via the WinLog97 program, choose the Clear Data command from the Logger menu. Since this action will clear the storage memory of the instrument, a warning appears first as shown in Fig 2-5.

Choose OK to bring up the next dialog box to confirm the clear action.

Choose Clear to start the memory clear operation. A message, Reset should be completed appears in this box when the task is finished.

Note:

You can accomplish the same thing passively, by simply allowing the analyzer to overwrite a set of stored values with new ones.
