9.1. TIME AND DATE

 

The current time and date are used as time stamps for recording. Their review and modification are possible 

only

 

from the level of the ARSOFT-CFG WZ1 software (item 1 of chapter 9).

9.2. RECORDING OPTIONS

 

Data is archived in a text file with a “

csv

” extension in the internal memory, on an SD/MMC card; a detailed 

description of the storage format is given in chapter 11. 

Recording to a file is performed only when the current 

time (

RTC

) is within a range defined by recording parameters 1:

Start

 

and 2:

Stop

 

(Table 9.2). 

Recording is 

continued until the memory becomes full and is then stopped and the 

FWLL

 message is displayed repeatedly. The 

archive files must then be transferred or copied for further analysis so as to free up space in the memory for new 
recording. Selection of the memory for recording is determined by parameter 4:

SDest

Notes:  (1)

 - the device does not record data in a file when it is connected to the computer's USB port  

 

      (2)

 - the recording interval is counted from the moment the device is disconnected from the USB port
