3. WinLog module

The Carel Datalogger is an electronic device that measures temperature data at regular time intervals, storing
them in non-volatile memory. The Carel WinLog software (for Windows™ 3.11 and 95, not Windows™ NT),
described in this manual, using the Carel DLOGSER000 kit and from version 2.1 using the Carel DLOGPC0000
kit, allows complete data management, from the downloading of data to the PC, to the display of data in
tables or graphs, to the analysis and printing of data and graphs. It allows the possibility to supervise the
Datalogger in question, using the DLOGSER000 kit, by reading the state and values of the parameters and
configuration, and to modify these using the software. Versions 2.1 and above also allow the downloading to
the PC of the data stored in the Carel DownLoad Module connected to the serial port (DLOGPC0000 kit).

3.1 Installation of WinLog

The installation program for the WinLog software is contained in two diskettes (cod. 98C425P002) and
permits the installation of the WinLog application on a hard disk. Before beginning the installation, make sure
that the system in use has the following minimum requirements:
• At least 4 free MBytes on the hard disk for full installation
• Floppy drive (3.5 inches)
• Windows™ version 3.11 or 95, not Windows™ NT
• CPU= 486 DX2/66, Ram= 8MB (recommended) 4MB Hdisk free
• Recommended screen resolution: 800x600 / 256 colours
• Recommended printer: laser printer with 2MB Ram, the program is pre-set to print on A4 pages using a fixed font
• For the correct operation of the serial communications, the program uses the standard Windows™ 3.11 or
95 serial driver
• Since the modification of the international selections (control panel-international selections) influences the
system operation, it is possible that during execution of the program a "run-time" error occurs.
Consequently, in case of problems, English language (GB) selection is suggested.
To start the installation, close all the applications (including the Microsoft Office™ toolbar, if installed) and
choose "Run" from the File menu of the Program Manager, or for Windows™ 95 choose "Start" and then
"Run". Write "A:\SETUP" in the command line and press "OK". During execution, the installation program will
require the creation of a directory for WinLog. This will also be the default destination for the files created by
the various downloads. In order to be run, the program needs the Carel RS485-RS232 converter, supplied in
the DLOGSER000 kit, or the Carel DownLoad Module, supplied in the DLOGPC0000, to be connected to the
PC. In the case in which there is no converter connected, the program functions only in demo mode (analysis
of already available files, graph previews, file export to text format or printing) and not in the supervisor or
data transfer modes.

3.2 Starting the DownLoad

Once the proper hardware connection between the instruments has been established, it is possible to start
the DownLoad operation. There are two types of downloads available: a DownLoad of all data stored in the
Datalogger, or the DownLoad only of data recorded by the Datalogger since the previous DownLoad.
• If the DLOGSER000 kit is used, the operation can be started directly from the Datalogger (with the
combination of keystrokes shown in the instructions) or using the WinLog software by means of the
"DownLoad" command. Before beginning the DownLoad, WinLog will prompt for the name of the file in which
the data is to be saved. The default file name is DLxxxxxx.dwl, with the Datalogger serial number being the variable.
• If the DLOGPC0000 kit is used, the operation can be started only by pressing the button on the DownLoad
Module. The files are automatically created using the above-mentioned system. If the file already exists,
and the DownLoad performed by the Module involves all data, the file will be replaced; if a partial
DownLoad is performed, the file is updated. The file created is a binary non-corruptible file, and is signature
protected.If the file is externally modified, the program will not decode it and will give the following message:
"Warning! Modified file. The file can not be opened"
