9334 LOGGER COMMUNICATOR Data Loggers Measure a multitude of items over a network Program that enables data collection using Ethernet and data analysis in Windows In addition to their data collection capabilities, our 8420-51, 8421-51 and 8422-51 MEMORY HiLOGGERs feature multiple channel temperature recording capabilities and are completely portable, making them very popular with our users. HIOKI developed the 9334 LOGGER COMMUNICATOR as a Windows program to enable real-time data collection on a PC. The 9334 LOGGER COMMUNICATOR allows you to connect up to sixteen 8420-51 to 8422-51 MEMORY HiLOGGERs via LAN and measure up to 512 items. 2 PC-based data collection and data management are just a click away Verify trend graphs and measurement values in real time from a PC Data can be downloaded in real time to a hard disk on your PC from a HiLOGGER connected to a LAN. You can check measurement results from the beginning of measurement to the current measurement result on the Waveform Display and Numerical Value Display screens. All the acquired data or the area between the A or B cursor can be converted to CSV text format. Data can be used in spreadsheets such as Excel or DADiSP (an engineering spreadsheet used for data analysis). The acquired data can be displayed as digital values on a timeline. Further, waveform images and digital values can be displayed simultaneously. Allows you to display the time and potential differences between cursors A and B on the Waveform screen, as well as the time and electrical potential at each cursor's position in tabular form. You can print waveforms to a printer connected to your PC. Calculates the parameters for the maximum value, the time, and the average value of acquired data. Displays acquired data as waveforms. Waveforms are generated in real time as the data is being loaded. Up to 256 analog channels, 256 logic channels, and 64 pulse channels are supported. In addition to being able to use recorded event markers to perform searches, you can specify criteria and search your data for items such as the date, maximum value, and minimum value. Signals can be displayed as a graph on the Alarm or Monitor (logic) screens, while current measurement values are displayed in a list on the Monitor screen (analog). Alarm screen Monitor screen (logic) Measurement Status screen displayed in the Settings screen Monitor screen (analog) 3 I want to view data while measuring... While performing measurements, the Waveform Display screen can be divided in half so that you can observe previous trends while viewing the current waveform. Previous trend cursor measurements and parameter calculations are possible. Split screen Waveform Display screen Quickly find events You can jump to positions that fulfill event markers and specified criteria, and display the waveform and search position measurement value. In addition to event markers, you can specify the following search criteria: • time axis • peak position • level • maximum position • valley position • window • minimum position • alarm position • volume of change Search marker (Waveform Display screen) Measurement value at the search position (Cursor screen) Settings screen for search criteria Statistical functions make data evaluation easy 13 types of numerical calculations can be displayed for all the areas or a specific area only. In addition to being able to display the average, maximum, and minimum values, you can display the operation time and rate by selecting the ON time option. Use the LOGGER COMMUNICATOR to calculate the following: Event Marker Search screen • average value • peak-to-peak value • maximum value • ON time • integration • maximum time • OFF time • area values • minimum value • number of times turned ON • standard deviation • minimum time • number of times turned OFF Converting data to CSV format You can convert a specific area (partial conversion) or the entire displayed waveform into CSV format. The cropping option can be activated or deactivated. Once in CSV format, the file can be opened in a spreadsheet or other programs for further processing. Waveform Display screen A sample screen showing data that has been converted into CSV format and opened in Excel. 4 ■ Supports multichannel measurement over a network The 9334 LOGGER COMMUNICATOR is a program for use on a PC and supports the connection of up to sixteen 8420-51, ■ Real-Time Data Collection on a PC (TCP/IP Communications) Supports Up to 16 HiLOGGERs 8421-51, and 8422-51 MEMORY HiLOGGERs via LAN. This allows the simultaneous data collection and display of up to 512 analog channels, 256 logic channels, and 64 pulse channels. Measurement data can be downloaded to the disk drive of your PC in real time. By connecting your PC, HUB, and LAN with their respective cables, you can easily use the 8420-51 to 8422-51 as multipoint loggers. Data measured by the HiLOGGER can be transferred to the PC in real time. Advantages of Ethernet - TCP/IP Connection ●10Base-T cables may be up to 100m long. ●The 9334 LOGGER COMMUNICATOR program is available for immediate use on the PC. ●Automatic retransmission capability provides better error handling than RS-232C serial communications. ■ Wide variety of display screens In addition to the Waveform Display screen, the 9334 allows you to display other screens, such as the Numeric Display Screen, Monitor screen, and Alarm screen. This allows you to display multiple screens, which means that you can view waveforms and numerical values simultaneously, or confirm the status of alarms on the Alarm screen while viewing the current values on the monitor. Furthermore, you can print waveforms displayed on the Waveform screen if you have a printer connected to your PC ■ I want to view data while measuring... The Waveform Display screen can be divided in two so that you can observe previous trends while viewing the current trend. Previous trend cursor measurements and parameter calculations are possible. 9334 LOGGER COMMUNICATOR specifications Compatible units 8420-51, 8421-51, and 8422-51 MEMORY HiLOGGER Media One CD-R Operating environment Computers running under Windows 95/98/Me or Windows NT4.0/2000/XP.
