Fluke 1594A, 1595A

1594A/1595A Super-Thermometer

Main Menu

Important: Avoid switching power off to the Super-Thermometer while measurement and recording are

in progress or recorded data may be lost.

Measurements are recorded when the START RECORD (F5) function key in the Measurement screen has

been pressed. The Status Bar at the bottom of the Measurement screen indicates if recording is ON or OFF.

Each recorded measurement includes the date and time of the measurement, channel, measured value, and

unit. Additional statistical data is also recorded when the Record Statistics setting is ON.

The data written into internal memory is organized into data sets and each data set is identied by the date and

time of the rst measurement in the set. A new data set is started each time the START RECORDING (F5)

function key is selected if measurement is on. Likewise, a new data set is started each time the START MEA-

SUREMENT (F1) function key is selected if recording is on.

Data is recorded to the USB le in ASCII text, comma separated values (CSV) format, one measurement per

line. Each line is terminated with a carriage return and linefeed. The format of a line of data when the Record

Statistics setting is OFF is as follows:

Example: 231.927562,C,4,2010-01-10 14:23:10

When RECORD STATISTICS is ON, the format is as follows:

Example: 231.927562,C,4,2010-01-10 14:23:10,1.89280433,47.318163,231.927848,0.000231

USB les are written to a folder named “\159x\data” on the USB memory device and have the extension

“.txt”. If the le does not exist, it will be created. If the le already exists, new data will be appended to the

data already in the le. For data to be recorded to external memory, a Linux compatible USB memory device

formatted with a FAT32 le system must be inserted into the USB Connection on the front panel.

The following are the Recording Menu function keys.

5.7.3.4.1 RECORDING SETTINGS (F1)

MAIN MENU | MEASURE MENU | RECORDING MENU |

The Recording Settings function key opens a screen that allows the user to view and change settings related to

measurement recording. The conguration elds in the Recording Settings screen are as follows:

MEMORY DEVICE - allows the user to choose which memory device to be written to. The options are

Internal, USB or Both.

USB FILE - is a user-selectable le name to which data is stored on the USB memory device. Upon pressing

Enter, the Alpha-Numeric Interface opens allowing the user to input a le name. The le name extension “.txt”

is automatically appended to the le name.

RECORD STATISTICS - determines whether statistics data is recorded to the memory device along with the

measurement. Additional data recorded when Record Statistics is ON include Resistance Ratio, Resistance,

Statistical Mean, and Standard Deviation. When Record Statistics is ON, the capacity of the memory device,

in terms of number of measurements, is reduced by about a factor of two.

The function key used to Start and Stop Recording is located in the Measurement Menu, Section 5.6.10,

START/STOP RECORD (F5), on page 28.

5.7.3.4.2 VIEW DATA (F2)

MAIN MENU | MEASURE MENU | RECORDING MENU |

The View Data function key is used to view measurements that have been recorded into internal memory. The

View Data screen displays the list of datasets recorded in memory. The user pages through the datasets using

the Left/Right Arrow Keys and views data in a dataset using the Up/Down Arrow Keys.
