Data Logger
The GS550 includes a data logger that records all
significant events including actual sensor values and
a date and time stamp. The data logger memory can
hold over 16 000 records, this is equivalent to
several days or several years of operation
depending on the recording mode selected and
machine use. The data can be extracted using a
USB mass storage device (USB key) and then
transferred to a personal computer for analysis.

Automatic peak. In the automatic peak mode
the data logger analyzes the measured weight
and records the peak value only. One threshold
per load cell must be adjusted. When the weight
drops by more than the peak threshold the peak
weight is recorded. Only one event is recorded
for each pick when the threshold is adjusted
correctly. When the automatic peak data logger

load cells can be programmed for automatic
peak data logging.
User input. Available on request only, the
status of all sensors is recorded on demand. A
custom hardware modification to the GS550
display is required and a normally open push
button must be installed on a digital input to the
GS550 through a pre-determined wire of the
power supply and lockout cable.
