Format
This option on the “Data log” menu formats the internal flash drive (see below). This
causes all the files on the flash drive to be deleted. Do not format the disk from the
PC.
Erase
The Erase option on the “Data log” menu completely erases all data on the flash drive
and then formats it. Not normally required.
Viewing the Results using RView
The 765C does not require any software on the PC. The data can be viewed using a
standard spreadsheet. We provide the program “RView” to enable users to easily view
the data as a graph or text.
RView can be downloaded from the “Accessories” section on the Littlemore
Scientific web site, www.elsec.com.
For more detailed information on RView see the help file.
When RView is started an empty window is shown. One or more data files can be
opened by selecting File\Open on the menu or pressing the appropriate button on the
toolbar.
When a data file is opened the information is displayed as a graph in it’s own window.
More than one graph can be open at any time.
The graph can then be manipulated in the following ways:
Change the graphed parameters. If ‘Show’ is selected on the menu a list of
parameters that can be plotted is shown with the current selection ticked. The various
items can be ticked/unticked to change what is shown.
Make the graph bigger/smaller. Use the standard window controls on the top right
of the graph window and/or drag the edges of the graph as required.
Zoom to see part of the data in more detail. Move the mouse cursor to one corner
of the area of interest, click and hold the left mouse button while moving the mouse
cursor so that the area of interest has a box drawn round it. When the mouse button is
released the graph is redrawn showing only the selected area.
Change the temperature units. Select ‘Show’ on the menu and the current units are
shown (°C or °F) click on this to change the units.
Move the Legend. When the graph is first drawn the legend box may hide part of the
data. This can be moved by clicking on the box and dragging it to a new location. If it
changes to a free floating window it can be removed completely or put back on the
graph by clicking on it again.
