GX-6000 Operator’s Manual Data Logging • 66
Data Logging
NOTE: The GX-6000 only logs data while in Normal Mode. If the GX-6000
is used in Leak Check Mode or Bar Hole Mode, no downloadable
data will be logged while it is in either of these two modes.
The GX-6000 features the ability to log data to its internal memory and
download it to a computer via the infrared communications port on the front
of the unit. It logs gas readings in Measuring Mode, alarm data, and
calibration data.
NOTE: The data logging function is separate from the snap logging
function. For a description of the snap logging function, see “Snap
Log Mode” on page 34.
To utilize the GX-6000’s downloading capability, you will need the GX-6000
Data Logger Management Program and a computer with an infrared port or a
USB port that runs one of the following operating systems: Windows 7,
Windows 8, or Windows 10. If your computer has an infrared port, then no
additional accessories are needed to download data from the GX-6000. If
your computer does not have an infrared port but does have a USB port, a
USB/IrDA adapter cable can be used to download data from the GX-6000
using the USB port. The GX-6000 Data Logger Management Program is
available at www.rkiinstruments.com/gx6000. The USB/IrDA adapter cable
is available from RKI Instruments, Inc.
The data logging capacity depends on how often the GX-6000 stores data,
how many channels are active, and how often the GX-6000 is turned on and
off. The table below illustrates how much data logging time is available for
the various interval times. It assumes that the unit is a standard four sensors
plus PID unit, is only turned on once, and there are no alarm occurrences. See
“Updating the Data Log Interval Setting” on page 169 for instructions on
setting the data logging interval time.
