9The Data Recorder Option
The features covered in this section are available on models fitted with the Data Recorder
option. This option includes a USB Interface (refer to section 8) and a Real Time Clock (RTC)
with battery backup..

Introduction

The Data Recorder option allows the user to make a recording of the process over time.
Recordings can be transferred to a memory stick using the USB Port.
Recordings are stored in Comma Separated format (.csv), suitable for use with
spreadsheets, or for import in to other software. See the USB Memory Stick Folders & Files
details (in section 8) for file information.
A Recorder Configuration sub-menu is added to the Configuration Menu and Recorder
Control can be optionally added to the Main Menu or Operation Mode. The RTC also
expands the profiling capabilities (refer to section 10) and allows a “calibration due” reminder
to be shown at a date specified by the user.

Changes To Operation Mode

The Data Recorder adds the option for a Calibration Reminder and a % memory use bar
graph to the Operation Mode screen sequence.

Calibration Reminder

A "calibration due reminder" can be shown if the date is equal to or after the Calibration
Reminder Date. The reminder screen persists until the key is pressed. If due, the reminder
is shown at Power-up, and repeated every 24hrs until the reminder date is changed.
The Calibration Reminder enable/disable and Reminder Date parameters can be set from
the Input Configuration Menu.

Memory Use Bar Graph

The bar-graph shown in the main Operation Mode screen can be set to show 0 to 100% of
recorder memory used instead of the standard options of PID power or control deviation. The
Bar Graph Format is defined in the Display Configuration Menu.
