8.4.2 Sending the Currently Displayed Measurement
You can transmit the current displayed measurement data only. This function is useful
when the Magna-Mike 8600 is continuously connected to an external device (data
collector or computer) and you need to collect only data on command.
To perform a single send
1. Setup the desired measurement screen on the Magna-Mike 8600.
2. Make a thickness reading.
3. Press [SEND].
The displayed measurement data with its appropriate setup flags is transmitted
and the instrument returns to the original measurement screen.
The specific data transmitted depends on the datalogger output format. Pressing
[SEND] while the thickness display is blank sends “—.—-” and the displayed flags.
When a displayed reading is sent, the reading held in memory becomes blank, and
the minimum or maximum function is reset.
8.4.3 Exporting a File to the Removable Memory Card
The Magna-Mike 8600 has the ability to export files from the internal memory to the
removable microSD memory card. You can export the files in CSV (comma separated
values) or text (space delimited). Using a microSD card reader, you can then open
these files directly on your computer in Microsoft Excel or many other programs.
To export files to the removable memory card
1. Ensure that a microSD memory card is inserted in its slot under the I/O door on
the right side of the Magna-Mike 8600 (see Figure 8-5 on page 144).
