2.4Acquiring Data

From the Acquire menu, select “Acquire Data” to read the pressure of each channel STEP 20 on the screen. The pressure is displayed both in engineering units and on the

individual bar graphs as a proportion of transducer full scale.

To log data, select “Log.” A file name will be requested with an automatic path to STEP 21 the NUSS directory. Click “Cancel” to display the data on the screen. While

logging, the data is displayed on the logging screen in engineering units. To stop logging, select “Stop.”

STEP 22	To stop data acquisition and freeze the display at the last reading, select “Stop
	Acq.” from the “Acquire Data” menu.

Select Re-zero from the Calibration menu. This will perform a Re-zero calibration STEP 23 and report the amount of offset which has automatically been corrected (relative to

the factory calibration stored within each transducer).

The temperature of each transducer can also be displayed in units of degrees STEP 24 Celsius (ºC) by selecting Acq. Temp. Each transducer has an integral temperature

sensor used primarily for the digital temperature compensation which is performed automatically.

Reading the temperature is most useful when verifying that you are operating within the calibrated temperature range. The 9816 modules will update this value once every 15 seconds.

You have accomplished all of the steps in this manual for quickly getting a single NetScanner™ System module up, running, and acquiring data. To similarly test another module in the rack (or externally attached), use the “Next Module” menu command.
