4.4 Storing and accessing measurements from a computer
If you have made measurements and stored them in the analyzer, you should be ready to bring them
into the Hach 3658 program for viewing, copying, saving and printing. Refer to Options setup
on page 15 for additional information on the Hach 3658 program.
4.4.1 Downloading stored values
To download the stored results from the instrument to the PC, choose the DownLoad data command
from the Logger menu.
The DownLoad window presents a display of the stored measurements from the instrument. The
window displays five columns of data:
• Sample (sequence number of the sample)
• Conc (concentration of the measured gas)
• Date (date of the measurement)
• Time (time of the measurement)
• Sample Description
The descriptions can be modified for your applications using the procedures described below.
4.4.2 Altering the sampling point descriptions
For help in identifying the locations of various sampling points that are stored by the instrument, you
may choose the Sampling Point Description command from the Logger menu to bring up the
dialog box.
The measurement values to be placed in positions 0 through 499 can be described however you
wish. Double-click on a particular position (or click Modify), then type a description in the box.
Choose OK when finished entering a description.
When you Close this box, your modifications will be saved, and will appear in the Sample
Description column for the next downloaded list. These descriptions can be modified again later as
your requirements change.
4.4.3 Copying values
To copy the results to the Windows Clipboard, so that the data can be pasted into a spreadsheet,
word processor or other Windows program that accepts tabular text information, choose the
Clipboard command from the Export menu.
4.4.4 Saving values
To save this list of measurements as a text (.txt) file, capable of being recalled by the Hach 3658
program or imported as a file into other Windows programs, choose the Save As command from the
File menu. A dialog box appears, with a space to fill in with an eight-letter name (the program
automatically attaches a .txt suffix to these files). If you have saved previous files, a grayed-out list of
these names appears as well. Typical to Windows programs, Directories and Drives boxes can be
used to locate other storage devices on which to save your data.
4.4.5 Printing values
To place this list of measurements into a tabular format and send it to the Windows printer, choose
the Print command from the File menu. The program asks you to enter Title and Author
information. Note that the Date is fixed by your operating system. The resulting printed list will
include this information on each page.
4.4.6 Clearing stored values
To clear all the values stored in the analyzer via the Hach 3658 program, choose the Clear Data
command from the Logger menu. Since this action will clear the storage memory of the instrument, a
warning appears first. Choose OK to bring up the next dialog box to confirm the clear action. Choose
Clear to start the memory clear operation. A message, Reset should be completed appears in this
box when the task is finished.
Note: You can accomplish the same thing passively, by simply allowing the analyzer to overwrite a set of stored
values with new ones.
