DataCORDER Operational Software
The operational software reads and interprets inputs for use by the configuration software. The inputs are labeled
function codes.
Displaying DataCORDER Function Codes
1. Press the ALT. MODE key on the keypad.
2. Use the Arrow keys until “dC” is displayed, then press the ENTER key.
3. Press an Arrow key until the left window displays the desired function code number. The right window will
display the value of this item for five seconds before returning to the normal display mode. If a longer display
time is desired, press the ENTER key to extend the display time to 30 seconds.
The DataCORDER function code assignments (see
) may be accessed by the operator to examine the
current input data or stored data.

Code Title
Description
dC1
Recorder Supply Temperature Current reading of the supply recorder sensor.
dC2
Recorder Return Temperature Current reading of the return recorder sensor.
dC3-5 USDA 1,2,3 Temperatures
Current readings of the three USDA probes.
dC6-13 Network Data Points 1-8
Current values of the network data points (as configured). Data point 1
(Code 6) is generally the humidity sensor and its value is obtained from
the controller once every minute.
dC14
Cargo Probe 4 Temperature
Current reading of the cargo probe #4.
dC15-19 Future Expansion
These codes are for future expansion, and are not in use at this time.
dC20-24 Temperature Sensors 1-5
Calibration
Current calibration offset values for each of the five probes: supply,
return, USDA #1, #2, and #3. These values are entered via the
interrogation program.
dC25
Future Expansion
This code is for future expansion, and is not in use at this time.
dC26,27 Future Expansion
These codes are for future expansion, and are not in use at this time.
dC28
Minimum Days Left
An approximation of the number of logging days remaining until the
DataCORDER starts to overwrite the existing data.
dC29
Days Stored
Number of days of data that are currently stored in the DataCORDER.
dC30
Date of Last Trip start
The date when a Trip Start was initiated by the user. In addition, if the
