OVEN TRACKER XL2 Using Telemetry 63
Using Hardwired
Telemetry
In addition to the standard off-line analysis, real-time analysis by hardwired
telemetry is possible with Insight software when used with an intermittent or
periodic oven (a batch process).
Thus, with thermocouples trailing from the oven and attached to the logger
outside the oven, data being gathered by the logger is transmitted via the
communications lead directly to the PC, and the temperature profile can be
watched developing in the Insight software as data is received, i.e. in real time.
Telemetry is not available with Insight Lite software.
Running a Temperature Profile Using
Hardwired Telemetry
By following the procedure in this chapter, you will use the Logger Reset and
Logger Download dialogs to run a temperature profile using hardwired
telemetry.
Running a profile in real time is performed in essentially the same way as a
normal (non-telemetry) run (see p. 45), but, in addition:
• The communications lead is left attached to the logger.
• A process file can be applied before the run starts in order that the data
can be understood more readily as it appears on screen.
• While the run is in progress, the real-time display of incoming data can
be customized as preferred, and the logger’s status can be checked.
Multiple-run mode (p. 48) and Smartpaq (p. 50) are not available during hard-
wired telemetry.
Resetting and Starting the Logger When Using Hardwired
Telemetry
The logger is reset and started exactly as for a normal (non-telemetry) profile
run (see p. 46), except that:
• In the Reset dialog, select Hardwired Telemetry. Multiple-run mode and
Smartpaq are then not available.
