1 General
The datalogger family Txx is a new development, which stands out from the field due
to its excellent price / performance ratio.
The compact design and modular technology enables the datalogger to be used for a
lot of various and different applications. The large display allows the measurement
values to be read from a distance of several metres.
Due to its extremely low energy consumption and large memory, the product is
definitely appropriate for long term measurements in both mobile and stationary
applications.
The new-comers into the datalogger family are :

Datalogger THI = temperature / humidity internal

Datalogger TSE = temperature / humidity external
Datalogger TCE = thermocouples
Datalogger TPR = temperature / air pressure
Datalogger THC = temperature / humdity compact (without display)
Datalogger TIC = temperature / compact (without Display)

The Datalogger THI is an electronic mini thermo-hygrograph with internal sensors.

The Datalogger TSE has two channels, to which either two temperature sensors or
one combined temperature/humidity sensor can be connected.
The Datalogger TCE is a 2 channel datalogger for thermocouples(J,K,N,E,R,S,T).
The Datalogger TPR enables the measurement of the air pressure as well as of the
temperature.
The Datalogger THC is a pricely affordable datalogger for temperature and humidity
without display and the Datalogger TIC a single channel datalogger for temperature
without display.

The SmartGraph 2 software, which is delivered along with the instrument, allows the
user to visualize the data on the PC screen and to record them.
The professional version SmartGraph 2 enables the values for temperature and dew-
point to be shown on the display optionally in °C or °F and the humidity in % (relative
humidity) or in g/m³ (absolute humidity).

2 Display module

The datalogger usually consists of two modules: the main body or display module
and the module including the sensor(s)
The memory, real time clock and the microprocessor controller are located in the
display module.

Explanations concerning the display operation:

When a pre-set limit has been exceeded the alarm symbol of the corresponding
channel flashes. Once an alarm has been recognized, the alarm symbol remains
visible on screen in static form even if the limit is no longer exceeded. The alarm
message can only be eliminated by selecting “Memory Readout” on the PC.

If the Pre-selection mode (start flag) was selected, the start-date and start-time for
data recording are shown on the Date/Time display. Once the pre-set date/time has
been reached the start flag is eliminated, the real time clock display becomes active
and data recording begins.

3 Module with internal sensors

The sensors for temperature and relative humidity, the corresponding sensor
adapters, and the serial interface (RS232) are located on this module.

Figure: Module with internal sensors

Necessary calibration intervals depend on the environmental conditions and the

requirements of the permissible tolerance deviations.
A single point calibration of the internal sensors can be carried out using a
comparison standard. The captured offset values can be entered in the SmartGraph
software under: Instrument / Configuration Of Instruments / Sensors / Settings.
Two point calibrations can only be carried out in the factory.

Manual Datalogger

4 Datalogger TSE with external sensors

The connectors for the external sensors, the corresponding sensor adapters and the
serial interface (RS232) are located on this module.

Figure: module with external sensors

Either one or two temperature sensors or one to two combined temperature/humidity

sensors can be connected. (Two sensors are only to be used in combination with the
Professional version SmartGraph 2). If only one external sensor is used, it will be
connected to the left hand sensor socket.

Important: the datalogger is a mere two channel datalogger. By connecting a

combined temp./hum. sensor both channels are occupied and further sensors
will be ignored.

page 8 of 24
Manual Datalogger

In order that the instrument may correctly recognise to which channels the sensors
are connected, both sensor socket positions must first be free. If a sensor is
connected to one of the two sockets, the indication UPLG (Unplug) appears in the
corresponding line (Line 1= left hand socket, Line 2= right hand socket).

If both socket positions are free, the indication SENS appears in the upper line, and
the first sensor can be connected to the left hand socket position.
10 seconds are left yet (countdown on the display) to connect an optional second
sensor to the right hand socket position.

Important: As long as SENS is shown on the display, the datalogger will not
respond on the serial interface. It is therefore not possible to read out data or
change the configuration.

The extension cable can be used with both external sensors.

Important: a maximum of 3 extensions can be connected to one
temperature/humidity sensor and a maximum of 4 extensions to one temperature
sensor.
Extensions can affect the accuracy!

Necessary calibration intervals are dependent on the environmental conditions and

the requirements of the permissible tolerance deviations.
A single point calibration of the sensors can be carried out using a comparison
standard. The captured Offset values can be entered in the SmartGraph software
under: Instrument / Configuration Of Instruments / Sensors / Settings.
Two point calibrations can only be carried out in the factory.

5 Datalogger TCE with thermocouples

The datalogger TCE supports the following thermocouple types (TC) : K, N, J, E, R, S

and T at both outputs TC1 and TC2.

TC1 TC2

Important: the same TC type has to be used for both outputs (TC1 and TC2) ;
make sure that the rotary switch is set in the position corresponding to the TC
type (see table below).

The TC is set up via a rotary switch on the plug-in side of the sensor module. The set
up value appears on the left side at the bottom of the display (switch position:
S0...S9).

Rotary switch to set up TC

page 10 of 24
Manual Datalogger

The sensor module should be removed to set up the TC (see § Changing the
module).
A maximum of 7 TC (type: K, J, N, E, R, S, T) can be selected via the rotary switch.
A selection via the software is not possible.

Table: correspondance rotary switch position and thermocouple type

POSITION ROTARY SWITCH THERMOCOUPLE TYPE
0 logger off
1 K
2 J
3 N
4 E
5 R
6 S
7 T
8 logger off
9 logger off

The channel which remains free (no connection with a TC) will show the cold junction
temperature.
The TC are connected via SMP connectors.

Important: make sure to only use connectors with a blade ; stamped

connectors are not allowed since they can irreversibly damage the TC
connection plug.

6 Datalogger TPR with temperature and air pressure

There is no special instruction to follow concerning this model.

The altitude of the place you are staying in can be set in the software SmartGraph2
which is delivered along with the datalogger. You will then obtain an air pressure
value based on the see level (1013,25 hPa).

7 Datalogger TCI / THC (T°, T°/H without display)

General: the hardware of the datalogger compact is almost identical to the hardware
of the datalogger with display. Two LEDs (a red and a green one) are used as a
substitute for the display to indicate the operation mode and the alarm.
In addition, you will find close to the serial interface a start / stop button to switch on /
off the datalogger.

Start-/ Stop button

page 14 of 24
Manual Datalogger

Start/Stop function: the off / on button enables the datalogger to start and stop
recording. The manual activation / deactivation of the datalogger and the
configuration in start/stop or in ring mode are independent.. By pressing the off / on
button, the datalogger will start recording ; by pressing it again, the datalogger will
stop etc..

Important: In the start / stop mode, the datalogger will start recording from the start
date on (provided that this date is set in the datalogger) no matter if the start / stop
button is being pressed during this time.
Before the datalogger starts recording, it can be activated or deactivated too via the
on / off button (s. timing diagram).

The button should be kept pressed for approx. 1 sec. to start / stop the datalogger.
When activating the datalogger, the green LED remains on during 3 sec. The red
LED remains on during 3 sec. when deactivating the datalogger.
While recording, both LEDs on the datalogger or just one of them will flash at 10 sec
interval. This time interval is completely independent of the recording and storage
intervals set by the user in the datalogger.

page 16 of 24
 Manual Datalogger

Alarm function: the datalogger is equipped with an alarm function on both channels
(temperature and humidity) which enables the user to set minimum as well as
maximum limit values.
The red LED will flash in case of an alarm.
If an alarm occurs while the datalogger is recording, the green LED will switch off and
the red LED will start flashing.
As soon as the measured values have become normal again, both LEDs will flash to
signal that an alarm came up. This can be reset by reading out the memory.

8 Changing the sensor module

To change the sensor module, carefully remove the datalogger back-plate with a
screwdriver. The sensor module can now be separated from the main body.
Place the new sensor module on the guide rail of the main body and assemble the
two modules by pushing them together until they embed.
Important: The module must be connected only when the instrument displays
"FAIL".

9 Changing the battery

If the temperature value in the upper display line is displaced by the word bAtt, the
battery has to be changed.
In order to do this, first remove the sensor module (see above “changing the sensor
module”).
Then remove the four screws on the rear of the display module with a suitable
screwdriver.

Figure: Opening the datalogger to change the battery

Lay the display module on a flat surface, with the display facing upwards, and
carefully remove the upper part of the plastic cover.
Now remove the old battery and insert the new battery (Type: LS14500/Saft, 3.6V)
into the holder.

Important: Use battery type LS14500/Saft exclusively. Batteries other than this
type are not permitted and can disturb the correct functioning of the
instrument. Observe the correct polarity of the battery and read the safety tips
on the battery. Please do not touch the battery contacts (grease on your skin
may cause oxidation!).

page 19 of 24
Manual Datalogger

The BAT indication now disappears and the measurement values are shown again
on the display.

Please check the time and adjust these if necessary again.

The battery should be changed annually. Frequent data transfer with the PC reduces
battery lifespan.

Figure: changing the battery

10 Mounting the Datalogger

The datalogger can be used either as mobile or stationary data acquisition system.
For stationary applications the datalogger may only be mounted on a flat surface.
In order to do this, first remove the sensor module (see above “changing the sensor
module”).
Two holes for wall mounting are provided in the guide rail of the main body. Use
these to mount the main body. Then carefully join the two modules together until they
embed.

Figure: mounting the datalogger

An anti-theft device made from aluminium is now available alternatively to the

mounting system. This device additionally enables datalogger to be dismantled and
the data to be downloaded much easier.

page 21 of 24
Manual Datalogger

From 2003 on all datalogger will be delivered with an additional wall mounting
bracket which can be used optionally. For mounting it on an datalogger with display
unscrew the lower screws from the housing and fix the mounting bracket with the
additional longer screws (see fig.)

Mounting the bracket

Fig.: Mounting the bracket

Now fix the angle to the wall and push the datalogger over it with the bracket.

Fig.: Hanging in the datalogger on the angle

page 22 of 24
Manual Datalogger

For the datalogger without display only the angle has to be fixed to the wall and the
datalogger be pushed over it.

Tips and Tricks

• The battery should be changed annually (Type: LS14500/Saft, 3.6V).

• Frequent communication with the PC reduces battery lifespan.
• For the data transfer to the PC, only use the cable supplied.
• Please avoid condensation on the datalogger and its sensors.
• Recommendations for measuring interval: 1 minute; storage interval 10
minutes
Measuring rates < 1 minute will cause higher energy consumption an thus
reduce battery life considerably.

1 Introduction to SmartGraph

1.1 Manage, Configure

SmartGraph enables the flexible management of several data logger devices by means of identifiers.
Devices can be added at any time. A unique description can be assigned to every device.

The measurement data is archived in files organized on a “calendar week” basis, stored in a separate
folder (within the folder where SmartGraph was installed) for each device, named DlXXX, where XXX
is a unique number assigned to each device.

Access to the data stored for each device is provided via the name of the device. A device can be
selected via the File Menu item “selected device” or via the device list box in the toolbar.

For protection against data loss, e.g. because of a hard disk error, it is recommended to back up the
data files (all DLXXX folders in the installation folder of SmartGraph) on a regular basis.

See also: 2.4.2 configure devices

1.2 The program interface

The program interface provides display and management of the information and data for a device, in
particular the measurement data.

Measurement data can be viewed as diagrams or in a table. The program creates diagrams and tables
for the selected device. Please see section 3.5.2 Auto Monitor for information on how to select the
device/data to be displayed and how to configure/customize the display.

In order to be able to present a large number of measurement channels and devices the interface is
sub-divided where necessary into pages lying on top of each another. These pages are called monitor
pages. Switching between different monitor pages takes place by selecting the label of the monitor
page to be displayed from the label list on the lower frame. The list disappears if only one monitor
page is in use.

Basically, there are two different monitor page types:

- Protocol Monitor: displays log entries, depending on protocol settings (see 2.5.1 Protocol ).
- Monitor pages for tables and diagrams

4
1.2.1 Diagrams

Diagrams display the measurement data as curves on a date/time based x-axis. Up to 12 curves with
measurement values from different sources, i.e. channels of a device can be displayed.

In order to present measurement values in different units on a single diagram (like temperature and
humidity), 2 Y-axes are used (left and right). The dots in the colors of the curves plotted beside the unit
of the relevant Y-Axis show the mapping between curves and y-axis.

Every channel of a device is always represented as 3 curves (for min/max/average values) – even if
only one of these values is configured for the device.
In order to display all channels of a device in a single diagram (if not more than 2 different units are
reported by the device), the “maximum count of curves per diagram” settings in “options/auto-monitor”
has to be set to 6 (for devices with 2 channels) or 12 (for devices with 4 channels).
This way one can show e.g. the dewpoint (instead of humidity) and temperature curves of a 4 channel
device in a single diagram.

Navigation within the Date/Time Range

These buttons in the toolbar control the selected Date/Time range (X-axis).

You can move short or long distances forward or backward in time, or zoom in /zoom out the screen
section along the X-axis. Zoom in/out can also be done by double-clicking with the mouse in the area
of the diagrams. The mouse pointer appears as a magnifying glass here. Double-clicking with the left
mouse button stretches the time range to the mouse position (zoom in), double-clicking with the right
mouse button switches from the current time period to the next larger time range (zoom out).

Context Menu
For quick and easy changes to diagram contents and settings, a context menu is available.

This menu pops up when the right mouse button is activated on the diagram. The same menu items
are available under the Edit and View menus (under item Yt-Diagram), when a diagram is selected
(the blue border around the diagram or table indicates the selected object).

The following items can be selected here:

Edit title, see 2.2.9.1 edit title
Edit curve, see 2.2.9.3 edit curve
Range of left/right Y-Axis, see 2.2.9.4 range of left/right Y-Axis
Grid for left/right Y-Axis

reference:
If the reference for the diagram is not required this can be un-selected in order to provide more space
for the diagram.

Print Yt diagram
Print diagram on one page. This can also be selected via menu "File -> Print -> Yt-diagram" or by
clicking the print button .from the toolbar.

The professional version of SmartGraph (see 1.7 Upgrade to Extended Functions ) supports extended
printing functions like printing of up to 4 diagrams from a device on a single page, or printing
all/selected diagrams from all/selected devices with a single command.

6
1.2.2 Table

The table displays the measurement values of one day. The time is presented in the right column.
Measurement values that exceed the alarm limits are highlighted in bold and in red text.

To preserve space on the display, the short description for the device and channel names are used to
label the columns.
The long description is shown in a pop-up help window when the mouse moves over the appropriate
column label.

Navigation within the Time Range:

The vertical scroll bar is used to navigate within the data of the displayed day. The same can be done
via the Cursor Keys (Cursor up, Cursor down, Page up, Page down) (See chapter 3.1 Keyboard
Shortcuts).

Navigation within the Date Range:

The buttons and switch to the previous or next day. This can also be done via the key
combination Ctrl Cursor Up or Ctrl Cursor Down.

The time ranges of the tables and the diagrams are synchronized. The day presented in the Table is
always within the time range selected for the diagrams.

Context Menu:
For quick and easy changes to the table contents and settings a context menu is available.

This menu pops up when the right mouse button is pressed while the mouse cursor is above the table.
The same menu items are also available via the menu item “table” of the Edit Menu and View Menu, if
the table has been selected.

The following settings can be changed here:

Edit title: change the title of the table
hide column: hide a column
show column: show a column
horizontal grid lines: show/hide horizontal grid
vertical grid lines: show/hide vertical grid
print table: The table is printed with the data of the selected day. This can also be done via the button
in the tools panel and via the menu item file -> print -> print table.

1.2.3 Auto Monitor

Data for every device is displayed on one or more monitor pages (depending on the auto monitor
settings for the device) within the “auto monitor”.

Select the device:

The device for which data is displayed can be selected in two ways:
- select the device from the selection list in the toolbar
- select the device from the menu item file - selected device

The name and identifier of the selected device are displayed in the caption of the main window.

Auto Monitor options:

Diagrams and table for the selected device are displayed based on the options set for the auto monitor
for this device.
The settings can be viewed and changed selecting menu item options - auto monitor:

- Maximum number of curves per diagram: With this the number of curves that are displayed in
a single diagram can be limited. Valid values are between 1 and 10. If more channels than the
maximum for one diagram are present in a data source, an additional diagram is displayed.

- Maximum number of diagrams per monitor page: The number and units of the channels of a
data source determine how many diagrams are necessary for presentation. If more diagrams
are needed than the maximum number allowed per monitor page, additional monitor pages
are displayed, and can be selected by the tab on the bottom of the window.

- Use both axes in diagrams: When this option is activated, each diagram is provided with a left
and right Y-axis if necessary, so that channels with data in two different units can be
displayed. If the option is deactivated, only the left Y-axis is used.

- Place table on separate monitor: When this option is activated, the table is displayed on a
separate monitor page without diagrams. Otherwise diagrams and table are arranged together
on one (the first) monitor page.

- Use as default for new devices: when this option is selected, the values set for the current
monitor will be used as default values for new devices that are added later to SmartGraph.

- Apply to all devices: when this option is selected, the values set for the current monitor
page/device will be applied to all configured devices.

8
After the settings have been changed, diagrams and table will be formatted for the selected device
according to the new settings.

The labels of the monitor pages are created from the device name and a serial number and cannot be
changed by the user.

9
1.2.4 Monitor page for Tables and Diagrams

The monitor page is divided into two parts (if a table is present on the page). On the left side up to 9
diagrams are presented, on the right side a table. The border between the two sides can be moved
using the mouse. The diagrams are arranged on the left side so that the space is filled as completely
as possible. The arrangement of diagrams can be horizontal or vertical (see menu item View-
>Monitor).

Selection:
Whenever a diagram or table is selected, various menu items and buttons like the “Print” button, are
related to the selected object. The selected object (diagram or table) is marked with a blue border. An
object can be selected by clicking with the mouse on the object. The next object can be selected by
using the tab key.

Full Screen/Normal Screen:

Each object (diagram or table) can be expanded to full screen size. The diagram or table then fills the
entire monitor page. Switching to full screen and back to normal screen size can be done in 4 ways:

- clicking on the button or on the upper right in the object.

- Using the key combination <Ctrl> + and <Ctrl> -
- Selecting the desired function from the monitor page context menu.
- selecting the desired function from the menu item “Monitor” in the “Edit” menu.

The menu items always relate to the selected object.

hide/show object:
Each object (table or diagram) can be hidden, i.e. it disappears from the screen, but is not lost and can
be shown again. The remaining objects on the monitor page are re-arranged.

Hiding an object can be done via:

- the button in the upper right corner of the object.

- the context menu of the monitor page.
- the menu item “Monitor” from the “Edit” menu.

The menu items always relate to the selected object.

Showing an object that has been hidden can be done via the context menu of the monitor page or the
menu items in the “monitor” menu of the “Edit” menu. The object to be shown is selected form a list of
hidden objects in a dialog box that pops up, and the position of the object in reference to the other
visible objects can be specified.

Note: The mechanism can be used to change the sequence of the objects on a monitor page by hiding
an object and showing the object at a different position.

Monitor page context menu:

All functions that concern the monitor page are found on the context menu for the monitor page. This
appears when the right mouse button is activated and the mouse is positioned over the tab panel of
the Monitor or over the border between the diagrams and the table. The menu items also appear on
the “edit -> monitor” menu (maximize/minimize object, hide/show object) or in the “view->monitor”
menu (arrange diagrams horizontally/vertically)

1.3 Measurement device

1.3.1 read data

The content of the data logger/device that is connected to the PC via the serial interface is read and
stored. This function can be started by selecting menu item “device -> read data” or by clicking the
button on the toolbar.

Requirement: The correct communication port must be configured.

The communication port can be configured via menu item “device->communication”.

Messages:
The date and time from where data is to be read from the device memory can be specified here.
Default is the date and time of the last read out of the device memory. With the "read complete
memory" option all data stored in the device will be read.

While the data is read from the device the message "transmission of data" is shown with an indication
of the progress of the transmission (percentage reading).

If the communication port has not been set up correctly, a message “interface already open” may be
displayed indicating the configured interface is already in use, e.g. the mouse could be connected to
that port, or a message “device does not respond” may be displayed if no device is attached to the
configured port. Please check the configured communication port if such an error message is
displayed.

1.3.2 recorder
With the recorder function measurement data from the attached device is read in intervals. Unlike the
data read by “read data”, the data read via the recorder function is not obtained from the device
memory, but the measured values are read directly.

While the recorder is active, the connection to the attached device is permanently open.

Note : using the recorder function reduces battery life !

The recorder is started or stopped via the menu item 'device - recorder - start/stop recorder' or via the
corresponding button in the toolbar. When recording is active, the recorder symbol is displayed in
the status bar.

In recording mode, the following menu items under menu “device” are disabled:
- communication
- read configuration
- read data
- clear memory
- synchronize clock

The device internal clock is synchronized to the PC clock during the recording process.

The following actions stop the recording mode:

- changing device or channel settings ("configure devices")
- "delete device"

The time interval for data collection in recording mode is determined from the device’s “sample
interval” setting.

If “auto scroll” is checked (menu device-> recorder or toolbar button ) new data read from the
device is displayed on the auto monitor page(s) for the device, and diagrams are scrolled to show the
new data.

11
When the recorder function is active, the time range for neither the diagrams (curves) or nor the table
can be changed, and the selected device cannot be changed either.

12
1.3.3 clear memory
This function clears the memory of the attached device, i.e. the data stored in the device is deleted.

1.3.4 read configuration

The configuration of the connected device is read.

If no corresponding auto monitor page for the attached device has yet been set up, it is created.
SmartGraph offers to switch to the appropriate auto monitor page for the device.

1.3.5 synchronize clock

The clock of the connected device is synchronized to the PC clock.

13
1.4 Display and analyze data

Measurement data can be displayed in diagrams covering time ranges from 10 seconds to 1 year.

To navigate within the time range of the diagrams use the buttons on the navigation toolbar on the
upper left under the main menu:

The same functions are available via menu “edit”. Zoom in/out can also be done using mouse clicks.
See also: 3.1 Keyboard

zoom in, zoom out:

As soon as you move the mouse pointer over a diagram it changes into a magnifying glass.

To zoom in hold the magnifying glass over the required position and click twice with the left mouse
button (double click) or click on the button on the toolbar. The diagram now switches to the next
smaller time range, with the clicked position centered on the diagram.

To zoom out click twice with the right mouse button or click on the button on the toolbar.

The possible time ranges are:

Year-Month-Week-Day-6Hours-1Hour-10Minutes-1Minute-10Seconds

Scroll:

scroll small interval backward

scroll small interval forward

scroll large interval backward

scroll large interval forward

scroll to the end of the data

edit date / time range

A dialog box to enter the date/time range to be used is displayed. The minimum time range is 10
seconds, the maximum time range is 1 year. See 2.2.8 edit date / time range.

The selected date/time range applies to all diagrams (and all devices).

14
1.5 Documentation

Printing of tables and diagrams:

The selected table or diagram can be printed via the context menu of the selected object, or the menu
item file - print, or the print button from the toolbar.

(See chapters 2.1.2 print and 2.1.3 print setup).

1.6 Organization of measurement data

The measurement data for each device is kept in a different folder within the SmartGraph installation
folder.
The data folders are named “DLxxx”, where xxx is the unique number assigned to each device by
SmartGraph.

The measurement data is saved in files on a “calendar week” basis (i.e. one file per week) named
"KWjjnn.sgr", where “jj” stands for the year and nn stands for the week number.

When a device is deleted the subdirectory DLxxx for the data of this device is renamed to DLxxxBAK.
The files are not deleted. If a device has been inadvertently deleted, the procedure can be reversed as
follows: quit SmartGraph and rename the folder DLxxxBAK to the DLxxx (e.g. using the File Manager).
The next time SmartGraph is started the data for the device will be displayed again.

15
1.7 Upgrade to Extended Functions

In the professional edition of SmartGraph the following functions are available:

- Beside the standard measurement units (e.g. temperature in °C and humidity in %RH) other
units (e.g. temperature in °F or dew point temperature, etc.) can be assigned to the
channels/sensors of a device.

- Measurement data can be exported to text files (with several options for formatting).

- Extended functions for printing of diagrams are available (e.g. print all diagrams of a device,
print all/selected diagrams of all/selected devices, print up to 4 diagrams on a single page).

Unlocking via key-code

The upgrade to the professional version is done by aquiring a key code.

To do this, select the menu item options -> upgrade -> order. Fill out the fields in the dialog box
"offer/order for unlock code". Select print to print out the order form. Fax the order to the given fax
number / your distributor and you will shortly receive the Key-Code for the requested version.

If you are in agreement with the License conditions select the menu item options -> upgrade ->
unlocking. Enter the key-code. The additional functions can now be used.

If the number of managed devices does exceed the number matching the professional version you
have orderer, the additional functions are deactivated.

Test-Upgrade
Upgrade to professional or pharma version for testing - limited to 4 weeks.

2 Menu Commands

2.1 “file” menu

The File menu contains the following items:

2.1.1 device
Select the device to be displayed on auto monitor

2.1.2 print
Print diagram or table

The selected object (diagram or table) or a screenshot (complete visible monitor page) can be printed.

In the professional version of Smartgraph extended printing functions (like printing all diagrams of a
device or selected/all diagrams from selected/all devices) are available.

Tip: the logo saved in the file LOGO.BMP in the folder “support” is printed in the right upper corner. If
you replace this file you can use your own logo.

2.1.3 print setup

Select printer and configure printer options.

With most printers you have the choice between various graphic resolutions. A higher resolution
increases quality, however the time required for printing is longer. Try various resolutions to find the
best solution.

Tip: For printing diagrams on a single page "landscape" orientation is best suited, for printing tables
“portrait” orientation may be suited better, depending on the number of columns.

2.1.4 page setup

Set up title and page borders

The dialog box 'page setup' appears:

17
title, subtitle
Title and subtitle will be printed on every page.

Page margins

setup for the printer)

Print lines dotted:

If this option is checked, the diagram curves are printed dotted (as configured for the diagram - see
2.2.9.3 Edit curve), if printing to a black and white printer. For color printers, this option does not take
effect.

Tip: A logo appears in the top right corner of every printed page. This logo is read from the file
Logo.bmp, which is located in the folder “support”. This file can be replaced (or supplied) if a logo is
required. If no logo is required the file can be renamed or deleted.

24
2.4.2.1 edit device

Following configuration items for a device can be viewed/edited:

Information:
- SmartGraph-Id:
This identifies a device uniquely within the SmartGraph software. It correlates to the name of
the folder where the data for this device is stored (e.g. DL005)
The identifier can not be changed

- designation:
The designation of a device. Any name/description can be assigned. This name (and the
assigned ID) is used in SmartGraph to identify the device.

- short name:
The short name for a device is used where showing the designation would use too much
space. Therefore only a short string should be assigned here.

- Further internal information from the device like hardware and software versions are
displayed, but cannot be edited.

logging mode:

The logging mode parameters for the device can be configured here.
- storing mode: In “start/stop” mode data logging (recording) stops when all available memory
has been used to store data. In “circular” mode the recording is continuous, but if all available
memory has been used, oldest data entries are overwritten with new values

- sorting of: The following measurement values can be logged/recorded:

o average: average measurement value over “storage interval”
o maximum : maximum measurement value in “storage interval”
o minimum : minimum measurement value in “storage interval”
At least one value must be selected.

- Sample interval : time difference between samples (times when measurement values are read
from the sensor)
- Storage interval : time interval for data logging

preselection:
When preselection is enabled data logging only occurs at the preselected time. The selected date/time
must be set to a time in the future.

Note for devices of the DL-series: preselection does work for devices of the DL-series in start/stop
and ring mode. For the DL 100M the device must be switched to mode S3 or S4 in order to activate
preselection. A flag symbol in the display of the devices indicates that preselection is enabled. A clock
symbol in the display indicates that preselection was activated (i.e. data is recorded). Other devices of
the DL-series, i.e. all two- and four-channel devices with and without display, need to be switched on
in order for preselection to work!
Attention: For the DL 100M the symbol for enabled preselection is displayed even if the device is in
mode S1 or S2 – but in those modes no data is recorded by the device!

sensors:
The sensors attached to the two logger channels are displayed here.
Settings: Using the buttons the edit dialog for the corresponding channel can be accessed (see edit
channel).

modify sensors (professional version only): the measurement units in which the data for a device
channel is stored can be changed here. The dialog box “modify sensors” appears.

The (physical) unit in which the data for a device channel is stored and presented can be modified
here.
25
Depending on the sensor circuit board installed in the device the following measurement units are
available:
Temperature in °C or °F, relative humidity in %RH, absolute humidity in g/m³,
dew point in °C or °F

Not all measurement unit configurations are possible. The following limitations apply:
- With the internal sensor circuit board and the external circuit board with one probe the
measurement units in the two channels must be different.
- With the external sensor circuit board with two probes the measurement units in the two
channels must originate from different probes.

When the measurement unit for a channel for which data has already been stored by Smartgraph is
changed, a new channel for the new unit is created.

The old data stored with the old unit setting can still be viewed. The device appears in SmartGraph
now with more than two channels. The channel with the old unit settings no longer corresponds to any
physical device channel. Accordingly, some parameters for this now “virtual” channel cannot be
modified

For detailed instructions on the device settings please refer to the device manual.

26
2.4.2.2 edit channel

The following parameters of a channel can be viewed/edited:

information:
- SmartGraph-ID: The SmartGraph Identifier for this device. Cannot be changed.
- sensortype, sensor PCB, assigned device channel : additional information about the attached
sensor, can not be modified.
- offset : offset (calibration) for the attached sensor.
- designation : descriptive name for the channel (up to 79 characters). Used to refer to this
channel within SmartGraph
- short name: short name for the channel (up to 20 characters). Used within SmartGraph where
the descriptive name would be too long (use too much space).

alarms:
- alarm at: if set to “storing data”, alarms are triggered when data exceeding the given alarm
limits is stored, if set to “sampling of data” alarms are triggered when data exceeding the given
alarm limits is sampled.
- alarm limits: maximum and minimum boundaries for the alarm. An alarm is triggered if the
(stored or sampled) value is below the minimum or above the maximum value configured.
- Alarm hyteresis: the hysteresis for the alarm.

display:
- decimal places : number of decimal digits used in data representation for this channel
- view range in diagrams : the default range assigned to the y-axis of a curve in a diagram
where data for this channel is displayed. (See 2.2.9.4 Range of left/right Y-Axis (for diagrams
only))

Notes:
- If (device or channel) parameters are modified that are stored in the device, clicking the 'OK'
button will cause SmartGraph to connect to the device and transfer the configuration changes.
The device needs to be connected to the configured serial port.
- If the device or channel configuration has been changed outside this SmartGraph installation
(e.g. with SmartGraph on a different PC, or through a firmware update or a change in the
sensor hardware), the configuration needs to be read first (device -> read configuration)
before changes can be applied.

27
2.4.3 delete device
With this command a device can be deleted. After removal the device is not displayed in SmartGraph
anymore.

A selection box to select the device to be deleted is shown.

Select the desired device from the list. 'OK' deletes the device, ‘Cancel’ aborts the action.

If a device is deleted, the data stored for this device is not really removed from the hard disc, but the
folder is renamed from DLxxx to DLxxxBAK.

Instructions regarding recovery of the data can be found in chapter 1.6 Organization of measurement
data.

When the current protocol file contains messages, an additional monitor page “protocol” is displayed.

Auto Mode is only active when the recorder is active.

29
2.5.3 export

The “export” function is only available with the professional version of SmartGraph.

Export data to a text file. Data from devices controlled by SmartGraph can be exported to a text file for
further processing with other applications (e.g. for import in a database, word processing or
spreadsheet application). The formatting of the text file can be customized.

The function is available from the menu topic 'options -> export' or the corresponding button on the
toolbar.

The export dialog consists of several steps:

Step 1: time period for export

Begin and end date/time for the data export is specified here. The end date/time must be at least 1
second later then the begin date/time. If “export without date” is selected, the time column will not be
part of the exported data rows (e.g. if data from one day only is exported).

Step 2: channels to be exported

The channels to be exported are specified here.
Selected channels are shown in the list (device name and channel name).
Channels to be exported can be selected by
- clicking the button 'channels of selected device' : all channels of the selected device
(displayed in AutoMonitor) will be added to the export
- clicking the button “setup channels” : a dialog to select channels from all configured devices is
displayed. See 2.5.5.1 setup channels

Step 3: channel information to be exported

In addition to the measurement data, information about the device(s) and channel(s) can be included
in the export output file. This information will be included as “header” information in the export output.
This header and the rows containing the measurement data are separated by the word 'data'.
The following information is available and can be selected via the checkbox in the selection list.
- channel no: serial number for the channels in the corresponding column
- data source: long name (description) of the device
- data source short: short name of the device
- channel: long name (description) of the channel
- channel short: short name of the channel
- sensor type: identification code for the sensor type
- unit: measurement unit
- min: minimum value of sensor measurement range
- max: maximum value of sensor measurement range
- alarm min: lower alarm limit
- alarm max: upper alarm limit
- logger ID: unique (internal) identifier for data logger device

Step 4: export to file

The file name (including its path) can be changed in the input field or via a “file selection dialog, which
is shown when the 'browse' button is clicked. If an existing file is selected, the option 'append to
existing file' will append the new data records to an existing text file. In this case, channel information
(header, step 3) is not exported. If the option is not active an existing file will be overwritten. If a new
file name is selected, this option field does not apply.

Step 5: Format settings

The following settings can be customized:
- date format: date separator, order, year (2 or 4 digits)
- time format: separator character between hours and minutes
- decimal seperator: (“.” or “,”) for measurement values
- columns delimiter: delimiter between data columns (e.g. channels). May not be the same as
the separator for date and time.
- line end : character to separate lines (rows) (e.g. CR LF)

30
 - Character string to be entered for erroneous or invalid/nonexistent measurement values e.g. "-
--" or "MISSING". The character string must not contain the column separator. An empty
character string is permitted.

The export is executed using the button ‘finish'.

2.5.3.1 setup channels

The dialog allows the selection of several channels from any device managed by SmartGraph.

The available devices are displayed in a list on the left hand side of the dialog. The device can be
selected by clicking on the corresponding entry. The selected entry then appears highlighted.

All available channels of the selected device are displayed in the list next to the device list. Channels
that have been selected are moved to the list on the right side.
