Using the Agilent MCCD Measurement Log Utility

If you are using the Agilent MCCD User Interface to create and run a cell forming sequence, you may want to transfer the data from the data log memory to your PC for analysis and storage at the completion of the cell forming sequence. Use the Agilent MCCD Measurement Utility to transfer the data from the data log memory to a file on your client PC.

NOTE: The data log memory will be cleared when you perform an Initiate function, when you exit the Agilent MCCD User Interface, or when power is removed from the unit. Transfer the data to your PC if you want to keep it.

To run the Agilent MCCD Measurement Log Utility, click on

Start> Programs> Agilent MCCD Client API and Measurement Log Utility> Measurement Log

The following window will appear on your computer screen:

Use the measurement utility as follows:

1.Enter the MCCD name or IP Address of the unit that you are accessing in the first field.

2.If the unit has been password-protected, enter the password in the password field.

3.Select one of the following data logging formats:
