9 The 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 battery backed-up
Real Time Clock (RTC).
Introduction
The Data Recorder option allows the user to make a record their process over time.
Recordings can be transferred to a memory stick using the USB Port or downloaded using
one of the serial communications options?????.
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 option 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 are set in the Input
Configuration Menu.
Memory Use Bar Graph
The bar graph shown in the main Operation Mode screen has the option to show memory
used in place of the standard PID power or control deviation options. This graph shows the
0-100% memory used. The Bar Graph Format is defined in the Display Configuration Menu.
