1-1 62-02575-07 SECTION 1 DESCRIPTION 1.1 HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE This manual contains information on the Carrier Transicold DataView Program and its interface with the DataCORDER. The DataView program is used to retrieve data stored in the DataCORDER. Data retrieval can be accomplished with one of the following devices: 1. Stand-alone DOS based portable personal computer (PC) with appropriate cable and software 2. Carrier DataReader hand held interrogator (refer to Section 4) The retrieved data can then be printed from a PC in short or long form reports. From the DataReader, it can be transferred to a personal computer (PC) for long-term storage on a floppy or hard disk. The DataView software for a portable computer is supplied on 3.5 inch floppy disks for DOS (refer to Table 1-1). This software allows data extraction, screen view of the data, hard copy report generation, USDA cold treatment probe calibration and file management.

While this manual primarily addresses the interrogation of the Micro-Link 2 and the Micro-Link 2i DataCORDER (see Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2), interrogation can also be done on units with the Micro-Link 1 DataCORDER (see Figure 1-3). Additional information on the DataCORDER may be found in the unit Operation and Service manuals. Please refer to the separately bound manuals listed in Table 1-2. Table 1-2.

1-2 62-02575-07 1.2.1 Micro-Link 2 Controller/DataCORDER The Carrier Transicold Micro-Link 2 Controller (see Figure 1-1) is a custom-designed, microprocessor-based control system which is fitted with a separate DataCORDER module. The DataCORDER consists of: 1. Microprocessor 2. Program memory 3. Data memory 4. Real time clock (RTC) 5. Six thermistor inputs (2 Air Temperature and 4 Cargo Temperature) 6. Two voltage inputs 7. Four status LED’s 8. Two communication ports (serial) 9. Power supply (optional battery pack) CONTROLLER DataCORDER Figure 1-1. Micro-Link 2 Controller and DataCORDER
1-3 62-02575-07 1.2.2 Micro-Link 2i Controller/DataCORDER The Micro-Link 2i Controller is an integrated Controller and DataCORDER assembly, but is otherwise identical to the Micro-Link 2 Controller. Scroll compressor units are also fitted with a controller Expansion Module located next to the Controller/DataCORDER. CONTROLLER/DataCORDER EXPANSION MODULE (Scroll Compressor Units Only) Figure 1-2. Micro-Link 2i Controller/DataCORDER
1-4 62-02575-07 1.2.3 Micro-Link 1 Controller/DataCORDER The Carrier Transicold Micro-Link 1 Controller (see Figure 1-3) predates the Micro-Link 2 Controller. Micro-Link 1 units with the DataCORDER option are equipped with a DataCORDER that is an integral part of the Controller. Interrogation of Micro-Link 1 and Micro-Link 2 Controllers will have some differences. Figure 1-3. Micro-Link 1 Controller
1-5 62-02575-07 1.2.4 DataCORDER Capabilities (Micro-Link 2 and Micro-Link 2i only) The Carrier DataCORDER is a flexible recording device with the following capabilities: a. Sensors Up to six thermistor temperature probes can be connected directly to the DataCORDER. These probes are referred to as: 1. Supply 2. Return 3. USDA 1 4. USDA 2 5. USDA 3 6. Auxiliary Cargo Probe On separate DataCORDER modules (Micro-Link 2 only) there are also two 0-5vdc inputs available for future expansion. In addition to these inputs, an additional eight sensors connected to the refrigeration or controlled atmosphere controllers can be recorded. 1. This list of sensors includes: 2. Humidity Sensor 3. Controlled Atmosphere Gas Sensors 4. Temperature Controller Probes (including: supply, return, and defrost temperatures) 5. Controller Pressure Sensors 6. Current Sensors 7. Line Voltage Sensor 8. Frequency NOTE The supply and return sensors (SRS and RRS) used by the DataCORDER are not the same supply and return sensors (STS and RTS) used by the Controller. b. Log Interval Micro-Link DataCORDER’s log data on 60 minute intervals from time of trip start. Micro-Link 2/2i DataCORDER sensors can be recorded at intervals of 15, 30, 60 (default), or 120 minutes. Data is logged on the exact interval, using a precise real time clock (RTC). All clocks are set toGreenwich Mean Timeat the factory and all recording is done on the exact interval (at 12:00 for example, rather than 12:03). NOTE Unless specified by your customer to set the DataCORDER clocks for another time zone, the clocks should NOT be adjusted. c. Sensor Recording Format Sensors can be recorded in a wide variety of formats. A one byte temperature format can be used for compact data storage. A two byte format can be used for high resolution over the entire temperature range. 1. One byte format (default): 0.25C(.45F) steps in chilled mode; 0.5C(.9F) steps in frozen mode 2. Two byte format: 0 .010C steps for entire range d. Sampling Type 1. Averaged (default): shows average of data from every minute over the logging interval. 2. Snapshot: shows snapshot of data at the log interval. 3. USDA: shows snapshot of data at a 60 minute log interval.
