3. Scroll through the numbered sample locations of all the stored values using the Up Arrow and
Down Arrow buttons.
4. To view the actual gas concentration measurement value at a particular sample number, press
the STO button. The LCD now displays the stored value for that sample number.
5. Press STO a second time to return to the next numbered location display, to continue scrolling or
view another stored value.
6. To return to the measurement mode, switch the instrument OFF and then back ON again without
holding down any additional buttons.
6.5 Storing and accessing measurements from the PC
If you have made measurements and stored them in the instrument, you should be ready to bring
them into the WinLog97 program for viewing, copying, saving and printing. See also
on page 17 for additional information on the WinLog97 program.
6.5.1 Downloading stored values
To download the stored results from the instrument to the PC, choose the DownLoad data command
from the Logger menu.
The DownLoad window presents a display of the stored measurements from the instrument. The
window displays five columns of data:
• Sample (sequence number of the sample)
• Gas (concentration of the measured gas)
• Date (date of the measurement)
• Time (time of the measurement)
• Sample Description
The descriptions can be modified for your applications using the procedures described below.
6.5.2 Altering the sampling point descriptions
For help in identifying the locations of various sampling points that are stored by the instrument, you
may choose the Sampling Point Description command from the Logger menu to bring up the
dialog box.
The measurement values to be placed in positions 0 through 499 (identified as Text 0, Text 1... etc.)
can be described however you wish. Double-click on a particular position (or click Modify), then type
a description in the box. Choose OK when finished entering a description.
When you Close this box, your modifications will be saved, and will appear in the Sample
Description column for the next downloaded list. These descriptions can be modified again later as
your requirements change.
6.5.3 Copying values
To copy the results to the Windows Clipboard, so that the data can be pasted into a spreadsheet,
word processor or other Windows program that accepts tabular text information, choose the
Clipboard command from the Export menu.
6.5.4 Saving values
To save this list of measurements as a text (.txt) file, capable of being recalled by the
WinLog97 program or imported as a file into other Windows programs, choose the Save As
command from the File menu. A dialog box appears, with a space to fill in with an eight-letter name.
(The program automatically attaches a .txt suffix to these files.) If you have saved previous files, a
grayed-out list of these names appears as well. Typical to Windows programs, Directories and
Drives boxes can be used to locate other places to save. You may also type the drive and directory
yourself when saving the file.
6.5.5 Printing values
To place this list of measurements into a tabular format and send it to the Windows printer, choose
the Print command from the File menu. The program asks you to enter Title and Author
information. Note that the Date is fixed by your operating system. The resulting printed list will
include this information on each page.
