How to view data saved in bi-
nary format on a PC?
The Logger Utility PC application
program is included on the supplied
CD. Install it on the PC and use it to
open the file.
Double-clicking on a binary-format
MEM
fi
le will not cause the file to be
opened if the file has not been asso-
ciated with the Lo
gger Util
ity. In-
stead of double-clicking the file,
MEM fi
les
can be opened with the
Logger Utility by dragging and drop-
ping them onto the Logger Utility.
(Si
m
ilarly, they can be opened by
using the "Open Waveform File"
command on the "File" menu.)

When opened in Excel, the
time displayed is elapsed time
from start. How can I display
real time?
When saving data in CSV format on
the HiLogger, the displayed time is
determined by the
[Time Disp] set-
ting on the System screen. Select
[Date] to display real time.
When converting CSV format with
the Logger
Utility, set the
[Time
Axis Format]
to [Absolute Time].

How are event marks handled
when converting data to text
(CSV)?

venient when you need to later
extract

nly marked data.
When converting data to text wi
th
the Logger Utility:
Event mark information is not includ-
ed.
