10. 3B NETdata transfer software  

Data stored in the 3B NET

log™

 memory can 

be retrieved and saved as text files with the 
help of the 3B NET

data

 software. In addition, 

the software also provides the capability to set 
modes of measurement and measurement 
parameters.  

 

Note:

 Only one interface 3B NETlog™ 

may be connected to the computer
when using the software 3B NETdata. 

 

10.1  Installation of the driver  

Before installing the 3B NET

lab

™ software it is 

necessary to install a USB driver. Proceed as 
described in 7.1.  

 

10.2 Software installation  

 

Run the installation program "start.exe" as 
administrator and follow the instructions on 
the screen. 

 

10.3 Control elements  

The control interface consists of three dialogs 
that can be brought to the front by clicking the 
relevant tab. The “Read Data” tab is used for 
transferring measurement data from the 
3B NET

log

 

memory, the “Device Set-up” tab 

is used for setting the measurement parame-
ters and mode of measurement for the 
3B NET

log

™ device and the “Update firmware” 

tab is for updating the firmware of 
3B NET

log

™, see description in chapter  11. 

 

Read Data  

Read:

 reads all data available in the memory 

of the device and presents an overview of the 
measurements in a list.  

Abort:

 aborts the reading operation.  

Status:

 displays the current status.  

Time elapsed:

 shows the time that has 

elapsed since the beginning of the read opera-
tion.  

Time remaining:

 shows the approximate time 

remaining for the read operation.  

Options:

 the following settings can be made 

here:  

Decimal separator:

 sets the decimal separa-

tor which is used in exported files.  

Date/Time format:

 specifies the time and date 

format which is used in exported measurement 
files.  

List (left):

 shows the acquired data.  

List (right):

 additional selection of columns 

which can be added to the exported files.  

Index:

 serial number, beginning with 1.  

Absolute date/time:

 date and time when the 

measurement/set of measurements was re-
corded.  

Relative time [s]:

 elapsed time in seconds, 

from the beginning of the measurement to the 
recording of the current measurement/set of 
measurements.   

Save selected data to files:

 converts the 

measurements selected in the left-hand list into 
text files (separated by tab characters). A file 
name is requested for each measurement. The 
preset file names include date, time, meas-
urement values and sampling rate and can be 
adopted without any changes.   

Quit

 exits the program.  

 

Device Set-up  

Vdc/Vac/(Idc/Iac):

 selects the measuring 

mode for the aforementioned analogue input 
(Vdc: DC voltage/Vac: AC voltage/Idc: DC 
current/Iac: AC current). 

Range slider (200mV-20V/200mA-2A):

 se-

lects the measurement range for the above-
mentioned analogue input.  

Auto Range:

 if this control box is activated, 

the measuring range is automatically adjusted 
by the device during the measurement.  

Store:

 determines whether data from the 

aforementioned input should be stored.  

Sampling rate slider:

  this  sets  the  sampling 

rate for the measurements. Frequency is dis-
played in the field f=, and the corresponding 
cycle duration is displayed in the field T=.  

Apply settings:

 writes the selected settings to 

the device.  

Clear memory:

 clears the entire memory of 

the instrument.  

Quit: 

exits the program.
