- Assegureu-vos que l'ordinador compleix els requisits mínims del sistema per al programari.
4.4. Connexió a un ordinador
Use the provided USB cable to connect the HL-1D data logger to your computer. The USB port is located on the back of the device. Once connected, the HW4-lite software should detect the device, allowing you to proceed with configuration or data download.
5. Funcionament
5.1. Encendre/apagar
The device powers on automatically when a battery is inserted. It remains in a low-power state until logging is initiated or a button is pressed. There is no manual power-off button; the device enters a sleep mode when inactive or logging is stopped.
5.2. Modes de visualització
Premeu el botó MODE button to cycle through different display views:
- Current Values: Shows real-time temperature and humidity.
- Minimum Values: Displays the lowest recorded temperature and humidity during the current logging session.
- Maximum Values: Displays the highest recorded temperature and humidity during the current logging session.
- Valors mitjans: Shows the average temperature and humidity for the current logging session.
5.3. Starting and Stopping Data Logging
To begin or end a data logging session:
- To Start Logging: Manteniu premut el botó INICI/PARA button for approximately 3 seconds until the display indicates that logging has begun (e.g., a blinking icon or specific message).
- To Stop Logging: Manteniu premut el botó INICI/PARA button again for approximately 3 seconds until the display indicates that logging has stopped.
The logging interval can be configured using the HW4-lite software, ranging from 30 seconds to 24 hours. The device has a storage capacity of 64,000 data points.
5.4. Indicadors LED
The HL-1D features two LED indicators that provide status information:
- LED verd: Flashes when logging data, indicating normal operation.
- LED vermell: Flashes when measured values reach or exceed configured alarm limits, or when the battery is low.
6. Gestió de dades
