Martel Electronics BetaLOG-PI - Manual (Page 3)

1. Introduction
This Manual describes the data logging capability and operation of the
pressure gauge, plus the operation of the related BetaLOG Microsoft
Windows application. All BetaGauge PI's with firmware with revision
3.0 or higher are capable of data logging when used with the BetaLOG
software. This manual complements and extends the user manual
received with the pressure gauge. Please refer to the gauge manual for
additional information on its operation.
The BetaLOG application is used to configure logging parameters in
the gauge, and to retrieve logged data from the gauge for storage and
analysis on a personal computer. Before you start check to make sure
your data logging kit came with the following items:
1) BetaLOG CD
2) RS-232 Cable with stereo style jack (this end plugs into the gauge)
3) RS-232 to USB adapter (with mini-CD) for newer computers that
only have USB ports. Refer to the instructions packaged with the
USB adapter to load the driver and operate the adapter.
4) Users manual
Refer to figure 1 to see how to connect the RS-232 cable to the Gauge.

2. Description
The gauge can log multiple sets of data, each of which is identified by
a sequential run number. Data logging runs are started and stopped
using new items inserted into the gauge's CONFIG menu sequence.
Logging parameters can be changed from one data logging run to the
next, and data logging runs may be as short as a single sample or as
long as desired subject to the maximum storage capacity of the gauge.
