Frequently Asked Question

 

1.I had connected thermometer to PC serial port and turned thermometer power on, but it still show "NO CONNECTION".

Answer: It could be that all  serial port are occupied by other application, close all application , restart your computer and run SE305 again.

 

2. In TABULAR window , I saved a file. Can I use EXCEL to open this file ?

Answer: If the decimal seperator is comma(,) in your area, you can not use CSV file, because CSV file use comma to seperate data, this will be confused.(for example 23,6,C,24.6,C)  But you can use TXT files instead, it use tab to seperate to data(for example: 23.6  C          24.6      C") and it can be accepted in EXCEL.CSV files can be used only in those country where use dot(.) to represent decimal seperator  When you  save a file in TABULAR, you can select "*.CSV" to save file. CSV is an EXCEL file format.You can open it in EXCEL.

for examples:

                  

         It will transfer first data set to grah and tabule on the right hand side every time after you load recorded data from the thermoter and you can click at any data set to change the set for graph and tabular.
