Downloading Recorded Data

The thermo-hygrometer stores up to 400,000 readings in its memory. These readings can be downloaded to a computer using the RS-232 serial port.

The following steps should be followed to download logged data using the serial port:

1.Connect the thermo-hygrometer to a COM port on the computer using the serial cable.

2.Run a terminal program such as Windows(r) Terminal or HyperTerminal(r).

a.Set up the terminal program to use the correct COM port and baud rate. Configure the communication settings to use 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity and no flow control.

b.If you want to save the downloaded data to a file, configure your terminal program to capture the incoming text and save it to a text file. Refer to your terminal program’s documentation for details on how to do this.

3.Begin downloading the data.

a.Use the menu function DATA RECORD - DATA PRINT to begin sending recorded data uning text format. See Data Print.

b.The thermo-hygrometer should immediately begin sending the data. If no readings have been stored, the thermo-hygrometer will not respond to these commands.

4.If the terminal program was set to capture the incoming data to a file, wait until no more data is being received, then stop capturing.

The recorded data can also be transferred using the IR port with LogWare III software, or written to a file with a data card.

Placement of IR Dongle for Transfer of Data

The thermo-hygrometer can be used with the LogWare III software to collect data via the IR interface. Place your device near the IR port of the thermo-hygrometer between 3 and 6 inches (8 and 16 cm) and pointed directly at and perpendicular to the IR window.
