A.2 Data Acquisition of the Lumat LB 9507
via the Serial Interface (I/O-Port) and
Saving this Data in a MS-DOS ASCII-File
The “Terminal” program that is included with the MS-Windows 3.x
accessories can be used for data acquisition of the Lumat LB
9507 via the serial interface RS 232. To ensure error-free data
transfer, select the following terminal settings on the [
Settings]
menu:
You can save the parameter setting you have selected as
parameter file in the [
File] menu using the command [Save] (e.g.
LB9507.trm). Before starting a measurement you just have to
open this file to start data acquisition directly.
Measured data from the luminometer can now be received as
ASCII-file as follows:
From the [
Transfers] menu, select the function [Receive Text
File...
] and enter any file name you want plus the path
specification in the dialog box that opens. Make sure to type “
.txt”
as file extension. The terminal program is now ready to receive
data. All data received from the luminometer after a measurement
has been started are automatically written into the selected file. It
is possible to receive and write data from another measurement
directly in the same file. Clicking the [
Cancel] button (in the lower-
left corner of the dialog box) stops the data acquisition and closes
and saves the ASCII-file containing the data received up to now.
To analyze the data in a spreadsheet program, e.g. EXCEL, you
first have to start this program and, using the function [
Open File],
import the ASCII-file containing the measured data. In the dialog
box that appears, select the text format (
*.txt) as file format. As
soon as you have defined the previously selected path, the
spreadsheet program imports the data directly into a worksheet.
