Datalogging

Types of Data Recording

Manual Datalogging: Manually log up to 99 readings onto an SD card via push-button press.

Automatic Datalogging: Automatically log data onto an SD memory card where the number of

data points is virtually limited only by the card size. Readings are logged at a rate specified by

the user.

SD Card Information

Insert an SD card (from 1G size up to 16G) into the SD card slot at the bottom of the meter. The

card must be inserted with the front of the card (label side) facing toward the rear of the meter.

If the SD card is being used for the first time it is recommended that the card be formatted and

the logger’s clock set to allow for accurate date/time stamping during datalogging sessions.

Refer to the Setup Mode section for SD card formatting and time/date setting instructions.

European and USA numerical formats differ. The data on the SD card can be formatted for

either format. The meter defaults to USA mode where a decimal point is used to separate units

from tenths, i.e. 20.00. The European format uses a comma, i.e. 20,00. To change this setting,

refer to the Setup Mode section.

Manual Datalogging

In the manual mode the user presses the LOG button to manually log a reading onto the SD card.

1. Set the sampling rate to ‘0’ seconds as described in the Setup Mode section.

2. Press and hold the LOG button for at least 1.5 seconds and the DATALOGGER icon will appear

on the LCD; the lower portion of the display will show p-n(n= memory position number 1-99).

Note that if PSI is set as the unit of measure it appears as P51 (where a ‘5’ is used as an ‘S’) in

the same area of the LCD where memory locations are shown. This can be disorienting at first.

3. Momentarily press the LOG button to store a reading. The DATALOGGER icon will flash each

time a data point is stored.

4. Use the ▲and ▼buttons to select one of the 99 data memory positions in which to record.

5. To exit the manual datalogging mode, press and hold the LOG button for at least 1.5 seconds.

The DATALOGGER icon will switch off.

8SDL800-en-GB_V1.4 6/15

Automatic Datalogging

In automatic datalogging mode the meter takes and stores a reading at a user-specified sampling

rate onto an SD memory card. The meter defaults to a sampling rate of two seconds. To change the

sampling rate, refer to the Setup Mode section (the sampling rate cannot be ‘0’ for automatic

datalogging):

1. Select the sampling rate in the Setup Mode to a value other than zero.

2. Press and hold the LOG button for at least 1.5 seconds. The meter will flash the DATALOGGER

icon at the selected sampling rate indicating that readings are now being automatically recorded

to the SD card.

3. If a card is not inserted or if the card is defective, the meter will display SCAN SD indefinitely. In

this case, switch the meter OFF and try again with a valid SD card.

4. Pause the datalogger by pressing the LOG button momentarily. The DATALOGGER icon will

stop flashing and the sample rate will display for a short time. To resume logging simply press

the LOG button again momentarily.

5. To terminate the datalogging session press and hold the LOG button for at least 1.5 seconds.

6. When an SD card is used for the first time a folder is created on the card and named VBD01.

Up to 99 spreadsheet documents (each with 30,000 readings) can be stored in this folder.

7. When datalogging begins a new spreadsheet document named VBD01001.xls is created on the

SD card in the VBD01 folder. The data recorded will be placed in the VBD01001.xls document

until 30,000 readings are reached.

8. If the measurement session exceeds 30,000 readings, a new document will be created

(VBD01002.xls) where another 30,000 readings can be stored. This method continues for up to

99 documents, after which another folder is created (VBD02) where another 99 spreadsheet

documents can be stored. This process continues in this same fashion with folders VBD03

through VBD10 (last allowable folder).

SD Data Card to PC Data Transfer

1. Complete a datalogging session as detailed in above in the previous sections. Hint: For the

first few tests, simply record a small amount of test data. This is to ensure that the datalogging

process is well understood before committing to critical, large scale datalogging.

2. With the meter switched OFF, remove the SD Card.

3. Plug the SD Card directly into a PC SD card reader. If the PC does not have an SD card slot,

use an SD card adaptor (available at most outlets where computer accessories are sold).

4. Power the PC and run a spreadsheet software program. Open the saved documents in the

spreadsheet software program (see example spreadsheet data screen below).

USB cable and driver CD) along with the 407001 software are required.

AC Power Adaptor

This meter is normally powered by six (6) 1.5V ‘AA’ batteries. An optional 9V power adaptor is

available. When the adaptor is used, the meter is permanently powered and the power button will

be disabled.

Battery Replacement and Disposal

When the low battery icon appears on the LCD, the batteries must be replaced. Several hours of

accurate readings are still possible in this condition; however batteries should be replaced as soon

as possible:

Remove the two (2) Phillips screws from the rear of the meter (directly above the top of the tilt

stand).

Remove and safely place the battery compartment and screws where they will not be damaged

or lost.

Replace the six (6) 1.5V ‘AA’ batteries observing polarity.

Replace the battery compartment cover with the two (2) Phillips screws.

All EU users are legally bound by the battery ordinance to return all used batteries to
