6. Operation
The PC software SmartGraph is the central configuration interface for your
data logger. All additional configuration and visualisation specifications can
only be set by software.
Basic settings can be directly configured with one-button operation by using
the mode selection button on your data logger.
You can restrict the one-button operation with the mode selection button from
your software if necessary (key lock). It is not possible to operate your data
logger with the mode selection button in this case.
6.1. Switching on and off
When current is being supplied, the data logger cannot completely switch off,
but can only be set to an operating mode with minimal energy consumption
(M1). In this mode, measured value detection, measured value display and data
recording are inactive. An overview of the four various operating modes is pro-
vided in the next chapter.
6.2. Basic settings and operating modes
Seven basic settings can be configured by using the mode
selection button. These include the four various operating
modes, the network function, a global reset of settings and
the acoustic function.
Briefly pressing the mode selection button changes to the
current setting level.
Briefly pressing the mode selection button allows navigation
through the individual setting modes.
Each chosen mode is shown for four seconds and
can be selected.
Within this time, the mode marker flashes in the bottom left
corner of the display (M1, M2, M3, M4, M51, M52, M53).
Pressing the mode selection button for 1 second
confirms your selection.
The data logger then changes to the selected mode.
If no selection is confirmed within the four second period, the
setting level is left and the display returns back to the original
mode without making changes.
6.2.1. The four operating modes
Operating mode M1
Measured value recording is inactive. “OFF” is shown in the second measured
value row. The STOP symbol is shown.
In this operating mode (data logger delivery state), the power consumption is
minimal because measured values cannot be requested or shown.

5.1.2. Installation of the SmartGraph software
Insert the CD-ROM into your PC drive and install the software by following
the instructions in the installation wizard.
5.1.3 Preparing data logger configuration
Connect the data logger to your PC via the USB cable provided in the scope
of supply. The measuring device is automatically detected by the operating
system.
Alternatively, you can configure your data logger via a LAN connection over
your local network if the network function is enabled. Further information about

logger can now be configured via the software.
Further detailed information about using the software is provided in the
software manual which you can open from the help function of the Smart-
Graph software.
Functions of the professional version

5.2. Note at initial startup
b
After starting the device for the first time, the message “SET TIME”
appears on the display. However, no settings need to be made directly
on the device. The time synchronises itself with the PC time automatically when
connected to the SmartGraph software for the first time.
