The Data Logging Process
The process of creating a new Record File, taking thickness
measurements, transferring to computer and finally creating a
report is straightforward, as illustrated below:
1. Create a new Record File on the Gauge
2. Start logging thickness measurements
3. Complete the thickness survey and close the Record File
4. Connect the Gauge to the computer
5. Transfer the Record File from Gauge to computer
6. Create paper or PDF reports on the computer
Windows software, Cygnus 3 Data Logger Manager, is supplied
to transfer Record Files and to create reports. It is also used to
create Template Files and to transfer these to the Gauge, see page
73.
An Excel spreadsheet Add-In is provided to automate the process
of inserting Record File data into spreadsheet reports, see page
