General presentation
The TR1500 software compatible with Windows® is designed to :
•
Set up a mini data recorder : acquisition speed, channels used, recording time,
alarm positions, name of measurement, define other units.
•
Read the measurements made by the device
•
Display the measurements on a graph according to the time
•
Store the measurements in a file (extension .T15) which could be read at a later stage.
•
Use the measurements in other forms :
Creation of text type files (extension .txt)
Creation of Excel® compatible files (extension .xls)
Exportation of graph to wordpad
The data exchanges between the PC and the mini recorder go via an Infra Red link.

10 Guide to perform a measurement
•
Under Windows run the « Start » « Program » « TR1500 » command
•
Make sure you have connected the infrared interface (SI686) via a straight RS232 cable to the serial port of
the PC (com1, com2...)
•
Put a mini recorder opposite the infrared interface, 25 cm away.
The infrared interface of the mini recorder is the battery end under it (half-ellipse opening).
•
« option » « serial port » menu
Check that the transmission speed is : « 19200bauds »

Click on the Scan icon
Every mini recorder has an address between 1 and 63. The software scans through the different addresses
and as soon as a datalogger replies to this address, the messages « datalogger detected at address :xx »
appears.
The dataloggers are supplied with the address 1. On first time start-up, the TR1500 software limits the scan
to addresses 1 to 4 (see paragraph : « maximum number of addresses » to change this setting)
The text box at the right hand side of the icon line (8 figure 1) gets filled with the address and name of the
datalogger detected.
You cannot perform measurements unless a datalogger has been detected.
Do not give 2 dataloggers the same address.
