Data transfer

Analytical devices

Problem

Remedy

Data are in the wrong device
window

If the devices are connected to the correct ports,
this is a hardware problem of your PC. Possible
remedies:

Switch on all devices (even if you don't need
them temporarily).

Use a Moxa or USB board to connect your de-

vices.

Garbled characters
On start of the datalogger

Check the handshake of the analytical device (you
may have software handshake there, whereas the
datalogger works with hardware handshake).

Garbled characters

Check the RS settings on your device and the
port parameter in the datalogger.

The analytical device has to send "IBM" charac-
ters (selection at the device in key ,
>peripheral units)

Don't send curves or reports which contain
curves from the analytical device.

Did you select the correct Device type in the
datalogger?

KF Coulometer: Missing
characters in raw reports

The KF Coulometer can't be connected to a Soft-
switch. Connect it directly to a PC COM or to a
Moxa or USB board resp.

Lock commands are not sent
to the device

The setting of the datalogger "Vesuv can send
data to device" has to be active ("Properties of
device window, Communication").

Remove the 6.2125.010 adapter from the RS
interface of your analytical device.

Method handling
(save/restore) is not possible

You can only save/restore methods for Titrinos,
756 KF Coulometer and 730 Sample Changer.

The setting of the datalogger "Vesuv can send
data to device" has to be active ("Properties of
device window, Communication").

Remove the 6.2125.010 adapter from the RS
interface of your analytical device.
