Data Logging
The SC-01 features the ability to log data to its internal memory and
download it to a computer via the infrared communications port on the
upper right side. It logs gas readings during normal operation, alarm data,
and calibration data.
To utilize the SC-01’s downloading capability, you will need the SC-01 Data
Logger Management Program and a computer with an infrared port or a
USB port that runs one of the following operating systems: Windows 98,
Windows 2000, or Windows XP. If your computer has an infrared port, then
no additional accessories are needed to download data from the SC-01. If
your computer does not have an infrared port but does have a USB port, a
USB/IrDA adapter cable can be used to download data from the SC-01
using a USB port. The downloading software is available from RKI
Instruments, Inc. The adapter cable is available from RKI or may be
purchased at a computer or electronics supply store. Data logging kits that
include the software and a USB/IrDA cable are also available from RKI.
See the “Parts List” on page 38 for a list of data logging accessories.
Table 4 below lists the SC-01’s data logging capacity for each interval trend
time setting.
The interval trend time cannot be set using the SC-01’s user menus. It can
only be set using the Data Logger Management Program. For a complete
description of the Data Logger Management Program and procedures for
downloading data to a computer, see the SC-01 Data Logger Management
Program Operator’s Manual.
