Sutron Corporation 8310 & 7310 Users Manual 8800-1125Rev. 2.7 (BETA) 4/16/2014 pg. 192
Introduction
There are many ways to retrieve data from the 8310. This chapter presents all the ways that we
know of. You may be able to figure out a few of your own. There are two basic types of
readings that the 8310 can communicate: last measured value and logged data. The retrieval of
each of these types of data is discussed.
Last Measured Value
The last measured value for a measurement is normally displayed in the Main menu as long as
the Display attribute is set to YES. If the value is not displayed there, you can always see all the
inputs and outputs in the Diagnostics menu. The last measured value is also available to
SSP/VOICE messages as long as the SSP settings for the sensor have Alarm Enable = YES.
Logged Data
Logged data is the most common data retrieved from the 8310. There are the following
methods of retrieving logged data:
8310 Menus – Logged Data
8310 Speech script
LOS radio -- reply to a Time-Tag Data request
GOES self-timed transmission -- use the setup fields to control how much data is sent.
Use the Alarm/Groups to control which sensors are sent.
GOES random transmission -- use the setup fields to control how much data is sent. Use
the Alarm/Groups to control which sensors are sent.
Download Log to card. Downloads can start automatically if an SD card is inserted when
the display is off. If the display is already on, use the SD card operations menu after inserting
the card. An SD card can hold multiple files. The downloaded data is named using the
stationname and the date of the data.
Download log (to terminal/PC). This function is available in the Terminal Operations
menu. The function allows either parts of the log or the entire log to be downloaded. The
download requires a terminal program running on your PC, such as Hyperterminal, that supports
the Y-MODEM transfer protocol (for Windows Vista and Windows 7, Hyperterminal may be
downloaded, here: http://www.hilgraeve.com/hyperterminal/).
SD Cards
Using SD Cards
All 8310 data recorders have been designed to use small SD cards. SD cards can be used to
retrieve either setup or log data from an 8310. SD cards can also hold setup files eliminating the
need to carry a laptop to a station.
See the section titled SD Card Operations for details on using SD cards
