Timed Scan Control
This section is dedicated to the
controls required for collecting data
at a fixed sample rate over some
period of time. Clicking on the
START SCAN button begins the
collection of data from all the se-
lected sensors. When clicked, the
grey START SCAN turns into the
yellow ABORT SCAN button caus-
ing the scan operation to cease.
Figure 2-7 Time Scan Controls
In the top middle of the section is the control for setting the maximum time period from 1 sec-
ond to 10,000 seconds in steps of 1 second. The Max Time in seconds can be set by either
using the up/down arrows on the left of the time set box or by actually entering the max time
in the box. To the right of the setting box is an Elapsed Time indicator box to show where
within the max time the current data scan is.
The Sample Rate selection control has three fixed rates – 10ms, 100ms, and 1s – that can be
selected by clicking the up/down arrow on the left of the data box. The 10ms selection only
works when a single sensor (i.e.,either Diode, Thermistor, or Thermocouple) is selected. The
100ms and 1s selections will work for any combination of selected sensors.
Immediately below the Sample Rate control is the entry box for the datafile path and file-
name.
If the TMM-100 is running on a Windows XP Pro computer, then the full path and filename
must be entered here in order to save the data file.
If the TMM-100 is running on a Windows 7.X, 8.1 or 10 computer, then clicking on the
folder button to the right of the filename area brings up the Windows Save As dialog box
that allows for setting the path but the filename still have to be entered.
If the box is checked for Add .xls extension, then the datafile will be saved with the .xls
suffix. Otherwise, the filename is saved as a text file.
The Notes area is designed to accept up to 4 lines of entered alphanumeric information that
can be use to describe the measurement run operating conditions, information about meas-
urement samples, or other information.
The data, with Notes can be saved after collection by clicking the SAVE DATA button.
