Starting and Stopping Tx Logging

System Programming

Acquisition Menu

In the previous step, “Acquisition”, the frequency at which Tx logs would be recorded can be configured. To start the logging function:

When “Start Tx logging” appears on the display, it indicates that the acquisition, or logging, mode is inactive. When “Stop Tx logging” appears, it indicates that Tx data is being logged. The log message is displayed on the screen according to the chosen mode and LED 1 will light up.

Press the Enter keypad button to stop or start Tx logging.

When Tx data is logged, the system creates files named tayymmdd.log, tbyymmdd.log and tcyymmdd.log, each representing one third of the network. The record includes the transmitter’s date, time and address, the sensor type, the concentration read, as well as the alarm status. Here is a sample of what a Tx log looks like:

2004-01-23 17;54;25; 001_CO_ppm;0;-normal-;002_NO2_ppm;1.5;-normal-;003_CO_ppm;0;-normal- 2004-01-23 17;55;25; 001_CO_ppm;0;-normal-;002_NO2_ppm;0.5;-normal-;003_CO_ppm;0;-normal- 2004-01-23 17;56;25; 001_CO_ppm;0;-normal-;002_NO2_ppm;0.5;-normal-;003_CO_ppm;0;-normal- 2004-01-23 17;57;25; 001_CO_ppm;0;-normal-;002_NO2_ppm;1.0;-normal-;003_CO_ppm;0;-normal- 2004-01-23 17;58;25; 001_CO_ppm;0;-normal-;002_NO2_ppm;1.5;-normal-;003_CO_ppm;0;-normal-

The first column of the Tx log displays the date (yyyy-mm-dd) and the time (hh:mm:ss) of the log. In this example, the “Delay mode” was set to one minute intervals.

The third column of the Tx log displays the transmitter address and the fourth displays the gas type, gas concentration and unit of measurement.

The display then lists the next transmitter address with its gas type, concentration and unit of measurement, and so on until all the transmitters have been listed.
