APPENDING DATA TO A JOB:
If the chosen job does already exist, the user does not have the option
to edit the existing job settings. An “Append Readings” screen appears:
If YES is selected, the meter will retrieve the selected job’s settings
(during this time a “PROCESSING…” message appears) and then switch
back to the Pin Mode screen with the restored settings.
If NO is selected, the meter returns to the Select Job screen.
o ALARM: See the ALARM section described above.
o MODE: See the MODE section described above.
STORAGE:
Data (readings) may be recalled internally for review or MC statistical analysis
and may be downloaded to a PC for record keeping or further study. MC
measurements are collected and stored in individual groups called JOBS. The
user has the option to separate readings collected from various species of wood
or entire kiln charges. MC readings can be separated by up to 98 distinct jobs
(labeled 1 through 98). Each stored result is accompanied by a date and time
stamp, job identification, reading number, total number of readings in the job, the
wood species on which the reading was taken and the measurement sample
temperature, as defined by the user.
There are no restrictions regarding job-numbering sequences. The meter keeps
track of existing jobs automatically. The meter also offers excellent flexibility in
allowing the user to switch among existing jobs, or create new ones, at random.
There are no restrictions regarding measurement storage based on job number.
For example, the user is free to take and store readings pertaining to job 3, then
job 5, back to job 3 etc. The meter stores all readings in the order they were
taken, placing markers in memory to keep track of each stored measurement’s
