Downloading Datasets Stored in Memory

Datasets stored in the instrument’s memory can be down-
loaded to a computer using the RS232 serial communication
cable supplied with our optional PosiSoft software (see
Options, pg. 12). Existing communication software can be
used providing it can capture data from a COM port. Select the
PRINT menu button. Datasets are not erased from memory after
downloading.

The serial cable (supplied with optional PosiSoft software) is
a 3.5 mm STEREO PLUG to a DB9 F.

Downloading Datasets As They Are Taken

With MEMORY on and a serial printer, data collector or com-
puter is connected to the instrument using a RS232 serial
cable, datasets are immediately sent to the device as they are
taken. Output is in the following form (example):

{STX}Ta = ###.# C/F{TAB}Ts = ###.# C/F{TAB}Td = ###.#
C/F{TAB}Ts-Td = ###.# C/F{TAB}RH = ###.# %{TAB}SN =
#####{CR}{LF}

Where:

STX = ASCII code 02 = ^B

CR = ASCII code 13 = ^M
LF = ASCII code 10 = ^J
