How Do I Copy
the ThermaViewer chart to a Computer?
The
ThermaViewer™collects large amounts of data, which can be backed up or copied to a computer at any time. A regular schedule for downloading data should be established so that on a periodic basis, say - once every six months, data is uploaded to a computer for archiving.
The
ThermaViewer™ can be unplugged from its sensors and the power cord (assuming that a good 9VDC battery is installed) carried over to a computer, plugged into the serial cable and the data copied with the 2DI data transfer program (TView).

Auto Download
ThermaViewer™
The TView program can also automatically download data from the
ThermaViewer™ to your computer once every: 5 minutes, 8 hours, 7 days or 30 days.
In this mode a file is written to your computer to which recent data is appended during each subsequent download until the end of the calendar month is reached, when a new file is started.
To use this feature, the serial cable between the
ThermaViewer™and the archive computer must be in place and the TView program left running on that computer. A 10 foot serial cable is supplied with the TView program, which you can lengthen by adding a 'straight through' three wire cable terminating in a DB9 connector. Wires 2, 3, & 5, are the critical ones.
