4.8.3 Gas Datalogging (optional)
Set-up by the PC software for instruments fitted with this full
datalogging option it enables the instrument to monitor areas
for gas, sampling either at a regular interval (for instance,
every 15 seconds) or when the readings change by a user-
selected difference.
This extended datalogging can also store the event logging
information if required.
4.8.4 Output Formats
The calibration history, event logging and gas logging are
output in a CSV (Comma Separated Variable format) with
the file extension '.txt'. To view the information in
Microsoft Excel®, follow these steps:
(1) Open the file using Microsoft® Excel. Note that the 'Files
of Type' box must be set to 'All files' to show the files,
which have a '.txt' extension.
(2) Excel will recognise the format as 'delimited text' and
start up a 3 step 'Text Import Wizard'.
(3) For step 1 select 'Delimited'. Then press 'Next'.
(4) For step 2, in the Delimiters box, ensure Tab and
Commas are enabled. Then press 'Next'.
(5) For step 3, ensure Column Data Format is 'General'.
Then press 'Finish'.
(6) The data will now be shown in consecutive columns,
and can be saved, printed and analysed as required.
To create a file, which can be opened directly from Windows
Explorer simply by double-clicking on it, change the file
extension to '.csv' before downloading and saving the file.
