OUTPUT RECORD
The Output Record function allows the operator to manually
download or print compaction data stored in the compactor’s
memory. The compactor stores up to 20 data records that contain
information on the last 20 compaction cycles. Each data record
includes the sample height (in mm), ram pressure, gyration angle,
and gyration rate versus the gyration number for a specimen, as well
as the date and time of compaction. Printed table format data sets
also include a blank for the Sample ID.
To manually download or print a data record, press 3 from the
Data Output menu shown on page 3–10. The compactor searches
the data records and then displays the specimens currently stored in
memory, as shown below:
>04/08/09 04:24P
04/08/09 01:52P
04/08/09 08:45A
04/08/09 08:15A
Using the arrow keys, move the cursor () to the desired data record
and press ENTER. The compactor sends the specimen data in the
desired format to the selected device (see page 3–12), then returns to
the Data Output menu.
AUTO OUTPUT
Upon completion of a compaction cycle, the Model 5850v2 can
automatically download or print gyration data via the serial or USB
port.
To toggle the Auto Output feature on or off, press 2 from the Data
Output menu shown on page 3–10. The compactor briefly displays
the message Auto Output Is Now ON (or OFF), then returns to
the Data Output menu.
