Introduction The Data Logger

1.1 The option Data Logger

The option Data Logger makes an additional operating level available to you. It includes the five function groups JOBS, LOGG, VIEW, TOL and cGAT. The groups JOBS, LOGG and VIEW serve for the operation of the Data Logger. The group TOL enables the monitor- ing of the measured values by means of a tolerance monitor and minimum reading capture mode. The group cGAT serves for the configuration of a third gate. The option Data Logger can be added to all instrument versions of the ultrasonic flaw detectors USM 25 (from serial number 1500 up), USM 23, USM 23Ex and USM 35.

1.2 The Data Logger

The Data Logger gives you the possibility of easily managing test jobs as well as storing and documenting the test results. Using test jobs that you have clearly and explicitly named and described, you can record, display, and print out measured values. In this way, you can selectively access readings that your’re look- ing for.

You can create up to 100 test jobs. The total storage capacity is 5000 measurement values plus 500 A-scans. Further you can create an individual com- ment list with 10 text lines (results) for each job. These results are linked to the measured values.

1.3 Monitoring measured values

The Data Logger option provides you with an individually configurable tolerance monitor and the minimum reading capture mode to monitor measured values. The tolerance monitor will help you to ensure that the measured values are within an individually variable tolerance range. If this is not the case, an alarm is triggered.

The minimum reading capture mode serves for the storage of the smallest sound path or the smallest sound path difference. The value remains stored until an even smaller value occurs. This function is useful with remaining wall thickness measurements on tubes.

1.4 The third gate

The Data Logger option makes an additional third gate available to you. The gate C is configured and used analogously to the two gates A and B that you already know. You can use the gate C e.g. for measurements of sound path differences between the gates B and C if the gate a is already occupied by another job (e.g. monitoring of the interface echo).

1.5 Acoustic acknowledgement

You can activate an acoustic acknowledgement for recording your measured values.

– Adjust the option beep in the function HORN. Recording of measured values is now acknowledged by a short acoustic acknowledgement signal. After saving the measured value with A-scan, a long acoustic acknowledgement signal will sound.

Introduction Overview of the functions

1.6 Overview of the functions

The functions of the Data Logger are located at the 4th operating level. You will recognize the 4th operating level by the small number 4 between the first and the second function field.

Besides the function groups of the Data Logger, there are two more function groups at the 4th operating level. The functions of the group TOL serve for the monitor- ing of measured values by means of a tolenrance monitor and a minimum reading capture mode. You can use the functions of the group cGAT to configure a third gate.

Function groups of the 4th operating level

JOBS This is where you’ll find functions required for setting up and for editing your test jobs. LOGG This menu serves for the logging or recording

of measured values in a test job.

VIEW This menu serves for the representation of all measured values of a test job, including A-scan.

TOL Functions for monitoring the measured values. cGAT All functions for setting the gate C are to be

found in this function group.
