Setting Frequency of Electricity Supply
To increase the efficiency of the logger’s noise rejection, and thereby provide
more stable measurements, select the frequency of the local electricity supply
as follows.
1. In the Insight software, select Tools > Options and click on the Logger tab
and then on the Advanced button.
2. Select 50 or 60 Hz frequency. 50 Hz is most widely used, but 60 Hz is used
in North America, several countries in South America, and in Japan and
Korea.
Running a Temperature Profile
A typical use of the XDL12 logger is in carrying out a
temperature uniformity
survey
of a furnace to ensure compliance with the AMS 2750D or other
standards. in this case, temperature profiles
(
using telemetry or not
)
will be run
with
Insight Furnace Surveying
software using the Temperature Uniformity
Survey Wizard, and not as described below. To use the wizard, run Insight Furnace
Surveying and click – or select Tools > Wizards, or File > New > Temperature
Uniformity Survey, or Furnace Surveying > Temperature Uniformity Survey.
With Insight Furnace Surveying,
two or three XDL12 loggers can be used
together
in order to gather data from up to 36 data channels simultaneously.
This is also done using the Temperature Uniformity Survey Wizard.
For details, see the
Furnace Surveying User Manual
and the software’s
Help system
.
The remainder of this chapter covers use of the logger with Insight Furnace
Tracker (not with Furnace Surveying).
Resetting the Data Logger
The data logger needs to be reset, as follows, before it can receive fresh data.
The following describes a
non-telemetry profile run
, i.e one during which
the logger is not connected to the PC, and the data is downloaded to the PC
afterwards for analysis. (To reset the logger for a run using telemetry, see
p. 30.)
