44 Using Insight Software DATAPAQ TP3
Falling Temperature Data-recording starts when the temperature of any
probe reaches the specified value as it is falling.
If a temperature trigger mode is set, the logger also records pre-trigger data;
see p. 54.
Stop Trigger If required, you may select a means to stop the logger
recording data. To enable selection of a stop trigger, first click Advanced in
the Reset dialog, then click ‘Stop Triggers’ to display the options. A stop
trigger can be set in both single-run and multiple-run modes (see p. 45): in
multiple-run mode, a stop trigger can be used to stop logging of one run in
readiness to start the next.
Stop Button Data-recording stops when the logger’s red stop button is
pressed and held for 1 second (ensure that use of the stop button is not
disabled; see p. 53.)
Date and Time Data recording stops at a specified date and time. (Not
available if using multiple-run mode.)
Rising Temperature Data-recording stops when the temperature of all probes
has reached the specified value as it is rising.
Falling Temperature Data-recording stops when the temperature of all
probes has reached the specified value as it is falling.
Run Duration Data-recording stops when a specified time (starting from the
start of logging) has elapsed. Note that no warning will be displayed if
you specify a time which exceeds the expected battery life.
To disable the operation of stop triggers, click ‘Stop Triggers’ again. Alterna-
tively, click ‘Basic’ (which will also return you to the standard Reset dialog);
selections made to setup stop triggers (and multiple events) are then lost.
Data Transfer Select ‘No Telemetry’. (For use of hardwired telemetry,
see p. 55; for Bluetooth telemetry, see p. 32.)
Memory Calculator Calculates the maximum time for which the logger
can collect data, given the sample interval and the logger’s memory size. The
time available may be further limited by the level of battery charge.
If multiple-run mode (p. 45) is selected, note that the time shown is the
total available for all runs until the logger is reset. The memory calculator
does not operate if multiple events (p. 45) are set.
Probe Temperatures The current temperature measured on each of
the logger’s channels is shown, updated every 5 seconds. This serves as a
useful check that thermocouples are working properly.
Logger Temperature The current internal temperature of the logger is
shown. (To display the internal temperature during the profile run, as part of
the paqfile, see p. 53.)
