Real-Time clock function
• This data logger module incorporates an accurate battery-backed real-time clock to display the date and time
of day.
• It compensates for leap years.
• It does not automatically compensate for daylight saving in summer and winter.
• With the real-time clock function, measured value data and files can be provided with a date and time stamp.
• Note:
The date and time stamp of the file is the time the file was last written (not the time when the file was first
created).
• The internal battery has a service life of approximately 10 years.
• See the section on setting the date and time.

Notes on data logging
• Data logging commences when a firing is started.
• It finishes when the firing is complete and when the kiln has cooled to 100°C.
• The "LOGxyz.CSV" file is generated on the USB flash drive.
• The first file created will be "LOG000.CSV".
• Subsequent firing processes will generate files "LOG001.CSV" to "LOG999.CSV".
• 1000 log files in total can be generated on the USB flash drive.
• It is recommended that you move the log files to another storage medium after a few firing processes.
• It takes about 1 second for the individual files on the stick to be indexed. Only then can a new file be created.
• So, for example, if there are files LOG000.CSV to LOG100.CSV on the USB flash drive, there would be a
delay of just over 100 seconds before LOG101.CSV could be created and logging could be commenced.
• The files are generated in CSV file format and ASCII code and can be imported directly into Microsoft Excel
tables.

The USB port (1) for inserting the USB flash drive is located
on the top of the housing, under an easily removable cover
(2).
⇒
Keep the USB port cover safe or reinsert it when not using
the port.
⇒
The USB flash drive may only be plugged into the controller
or removed when no data is being written to it.
⇒
The controller does not have to be switched off to insert and
remove a USB flash drive; however, this is recommended.
⇒
The "USB flash drive plugged into USB port" indicator (3) on
the top of the housing goes out as soon as the flash drive is
removed.
