    • By clicking the [Send Settings] Button, the changes will be completed.
  • LCD Display Pattern
    • You can select from 4 patterns:
    • Alternate display among Ch.1, Ch.2 and Ch.3, Display Ch.1 only, Display Ch.2 only or Display Ch.3 only.

Adjustment Settings

  • * By setting adjustment values beforehand, you can record and display the post- adjusted measurement values. You can choose from two adjustment methods: 1-point and 2-point.
    • Adjustment will be carried out using an adjustment equation of Y= aX + b; where X is the pre-adjusted measurement value and Y is the post-adjusted value.

Rough Guidelines for Adjustment

  1. point Adjustment: Use when measuring in a range of ±20ºC.
  2. point Adjustment : Use when measuring in a wide range.

IMPORTANT

  • When adjusting at 2 points, make sure the difference in points is at least 10ºC.
  • When measuring in a wide range and adjusting at 2 points, make sure that the adjustment  values reflect the range you are measuring.
  • We cannot guarantee that after carrying out adjustment the measuring accuracy will improve for all measuring ranges.
  1. Check the channel you wish to adjust.
  2. Place a checkmark next to either [1 Point Adjustment] or [2 Point Adjustment] and enter the [Before] and [After] values.
  3. By clicking the [Send Settings] Button, the adjustment settings will be completed.

The Data Logger can store up to 4 adjustment values, the adjustment history will display up to 4 channels at one time.

  1. Point Adjustment
  2. This adjustment method changes only the offset (b) where the slope (a) is considered 1.
  3. For example, TR-73U is measuring 10ºC, but the standard says the actual measurement should be 10.2ºC. Enter 10 in the Before Adjustment box and 10.2 in the After Adjustment  box. The conversion equation will be Y=X + 0.2 and for all measurements an adjustment to the offset of +0.2 will be made.
  4. Point Adjustment
  5. The adjustment equation will be calculated from two points: the slope (a) and the offset(b).
  6. For example, the TR-73U reads 0ºC when the standard thermometer reads 0.4ºC, and TR-73U reads 10ºC when the standard says the true measurement is 10.2ºC. In this case the slope(a)is 10.2 – 0.4 / 10-0 = 0.98. The offset is 0.4, so the conversion equation becomes Y = 0.98X + 0.4. The range of the slope is 0 < a < = 2. Entries are valid to one decimal point, but after calculation up to four digits are valid for the slope and offset.

Troubleshooting

Q: The computer won’t communicate via the Serial Port. What should I do?
A: Please check the following

  • Try two or three times to find the port connection by using the Auto-detect function.
    Check to make sure that the power of the main unit is ON.

  • Check to make sure that the connection is proper. Communication will take place only through the serial port (RS-232C) and will not work through the printer port or any other port.

  • Check to make sure that you can control the Thermo Recorder via the software.

  • If you have access to another computer, try seeing if communication works with the other computer.

  • If you have a computer with energy saving function settings, make sure that the serial port has not been turned off.

  • Check to make sure that the serial port has not been rendered unusable by the BIOS setting.

  • Make sure that the serial port setting has not been made to render the port unusable. With some computers, especially
    all-in-one computers the serial port serves as the modem jack.

  • If your computer has an internal modem, make sure that the communication port is not being used by it. When the communication port is being used as the modem port, that port  cannot be used. Either quit using the modem or use another port.

  • Sometimes communication will not work if a switch has been added to the serial port (RS-232C) or an extension cable has been added to the communication cable.

  • heck to see if some other communication software is in use.

  • if your desktop computer has two serial ports, try connecting the communication cable to the other port and try communicating again.

How to check the status of a COM port

  1. Open the Device Manager.
    Right click the [Start] button and select [Device Manager].

  2. In the Device Manager, click on [Ports (COM & LPT)] and check to see that if under that appears [Communications Port (COM1)].
    (Note that COM1 is an example. The actual COM port number will vary depending on the available ports.) If a port appears, it should be usable.

  3. If a mark “!” or “x” appears next to the port, this communication port is unusable. If you cannot use a communication port please contact the manufacturer of your computer.
    To find out details about any communication port with “!”, right click on the port and select [Properties] where you can check the status of the device.

Q: The date and the time of the recorded data are different from the actual date and time of recording. Why?

  • A: The Thermo Recorder has no internal clock. When you set up a  programmed recording start or when you download data, the date and time that are shown are taken form your computer’s clock. If your computer’s clock is not correct, it will affect the recorded data.
    When recording mode has been set to [Endless] and Recording Start was carried out via PC, the time for recorded data is calculated from the recording start date and time and will appear correctly in the Graph as long as recording capacity has not reached its limit. However, once data capacity has become full and the oldest data is overwritten, the date and time for downloaded data in the Graph will be calculated using the PC’s clock for the latest recorded data and subtracting backward. Hence the time for the displayed data will be different from the actual time the data was recorded.

Q: I installed T &D Graph, but the downloaded file is associated with another program and cannot be opened with T&D Graph. What should I do?
A: Follow the steps below to change file associations.

  1. In the data storage location, right-click on the graph file (.trz) and  select [Properties].
  2. In the General tab of the Properties window, click the [Change] button.
  3. Select “T&D Graph” from the list that appears and click [OK].
  4. If “T&D Graph” is not in the list, select “TandDGraph.exe” in the installation folder. Default Installation Folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\T&D Graph
