OVEN TRACKER XL2 Running a Temperature Profile 57
Downloading Data
The procedure described here uses the Insight software’s Logger Download dialog.
If you are less sure of the process, you can instead use the Logger Download
Wizard to guide you, step-by-step, through this stage of running a profile: click
on the Insight toolbar, or select Tools > Wizards from the menu.
1. Use the communications lead supplied to connect the logger to a free USB
port on the PC.
To minimize communications problems: a) connect the lead first to the PC and
then to the logger; b) always use the same USB port – the one which was first
used to set up communications (p. 14).
The red LED on the logger should flash five times to confirm that the
connection between the communications lead and the logger has been made
(if it does not, see ‘Communications Setup’, p. 14).
2. If Insight is not running, you will by default be presented with a popup
option to reset the logger or to download data from it; select the option to
download data, and Insight will run and the operation will start. If the popup
feature has been disabled (see p. 46), open the Logger Download dialog
(click on the toolbar, or press function key F3, or select Logger >
Download from the menu bar).
3. If the logger holds data from multiple runs, Insight displays a numbered
thumbnail of each profile, with data-collection time shown (Oven Tracker
Professional only). Any profiles whose data has already been downloaded
are marked in the display. By default, all profiles will be selected for
download, unless they contain fewer than 10 data-points. Click on
thumbnails to deselect any you wish not to download. You may select to
Merge all selected runs into a single paqfile: this will combine the data
in a single paqfile (for an explanation of merging, see Menu Functions >
File > Utilities in the online Help system). Click ‘OK’ to start downloading
the selected profile data; click ‘Cancel’ to abort the downloads.
Downloading individual runs from the logger does not delete those runs from
memory or clear space for further runs to be added. The only way to delete data
from the logger’s memory is to perform a reset using Insight (p. 46), and this
deletes all the profile-run data stored in the logger.
Individual runs can be selected for download in Oven Tracker Professional only.
In Oven Tracker Basic, all profiles in memory are downloaded on starting
a download.
