1-10 62-02575-07 1.4 USDA RECORDING A special type of recording is provided for USDA cold treatment purposes. Cold treatment recording requires that three remote temperature probes are placed in the cargo at various locations. Provision is made to connect these probes to the DataCORDER via receptacles located at the rear left-hand side of the unit. Four (five, on some units) receptacles are provided. Four (three-pin) receptacles are for the probes and one (five pin) receptacle is provided for the Interrogator. All receptacles are sized to accept a Deutsch HD16-5-16S size plug with a tricam coupling locking device. The DataCORDER inputs are designed to accept a two wire thermistor probe. A label on the back panel of the unit shows which receptacle is used for each probe. The USDA #1, #2 and #3 probes (and possibly the optional Cargo probe) are installed in these receptacles. The DataCORDER records up to six probe temperatures (supply, return, USDA #1, #2, #3 and an optional cargo probe #4), at the logging interval. The standard DataCORDER report displays the supply and return air temperatures. The cold treatment report displays USDA #1, #2, #3 and return air temperatures. Cold treatment recording is backed up by a battery so recording can continue if AC power is lost. NOTE There may be an additional (3-pin) receptacle for a cargo probe on some units. This should NOT be used for USDA probes. 1.5 RELATIVE HUMIDITY When the Relative Humidity Set Point mode is activated or de-activated (i.e., Controller function code Cd33 on Micro-Link 2/2i), this status is stored in the DataCORDER memory and reported as an event.
2-1 62-02575-07 SECTION 2 SYSTEM SETUP 2.1 HARDWARE PLATFORMS SUPPORTED The DataView Software will run on a variety of DOS based machines. We recommend the use of a desktop or laptop machine with at least 3MB free disk space and a VGA monitor for displaying graphics, for most printing and report generation functions.

TOPIC 2 DESKTOP QUICK START This section describes the installation procedure for the DOS DataView interrogator program. Installation From MS -- DOS Prompt This installation procedure will copy the DataView Program to a hard --disk. Approx. 1.5MB of files will be copied. NOTE The data view package contains two diskettes. disc part number 12--00413--05 loads software for use with reciprocating compressor units. Disc 12--00528--00 loads software for use with scroll compressor units. Both software programs may be loaded on the same computer except different resident directories must be created. Each DOS DataView program comes on a single 3.5--inch diskette. To begin installation insert the diskette into drive A:\ or drive B:\. Depending on the drive the diskette is loaded in, at the MS--DOS system prompt type A:\install or B:\install and press the enter key. The installation program will take the user through the following steps: a) The startup screen is displayed. Press enter to continue. b) The product selection screen is displayed. Select which DOS DataView product to install DataView onto: a PC, Hewlett Packard (HP) Palmtop or pen based computer. Use the up/down arrow keys to highlight the product, and the space bar select the product, and press enter to continue. NOTE If loading scroll software on the same computer as reciprocating software the destination directory must be changed. Suggested change is C:\SCROLLDV. If the destination directory is not changed, installation of new reciprocating software will overwrite the scroll software. c) The destination directory selection screen is displayed. Enter the directory the DataView program will reside in and press enter. The default directory is “C:\DATAVIEW.” If this directory does not exist on the PC, the installation program will automatically create the directory. d) To preserve the previous sensor configuration file, sensors.cnf, the file is copied to sensors.sav. e) To preserve the previous program configuration file, ml2.cnf, the file is copied to ml2.sav. f) The custom.cnf, *.DCX, and *.PRN files will not be delete and will remain in the directory. g) The previous version of the DataView program will be deleted prior to installing the new program. h) All of the files are downloaded to the directory defined in step c. As the files are downloaded to the computer, a progress bar is displayed to indicate the amount of files successfully downloaded. The following files will reside in the directory defined in step c.

This is the working directory where the DCX files are stored. j) Creates the sub directory C:\“directory”\PRN_FLS, where “directory” is the directory defined in step c. This is the print file directory where the ASCII Text print files are stored. k) The user shall be notified when the installation is complete via the Installation Completion Screen and given direc- tions on how to proceed. l) To restore the previous customized version of the sensor configuration file, execute the following commands at the MS--DOS prompt: 1. “del sensors.cnf” -- deletes the new sensors.cnf file 2. “ren sensors.sav sensors.cnf” -- restores the old sensors.cnf file m) To restore the previous customized version of the program configuration file, execute the following commands at the MS--DOS prompt: 1. “del ml2.cnf” -- deletes the new ml2.cnf file 2. “ren ml2.sav ml2.cnf” -- restores the old ml2.cnf file Additional Steps For The HP Palmtop This section describes the steps required to transfer the DataView program from a PC to an HP Palmtop. a) Prior to transferring the DataView program the user will create the following directories on the HP Palmtop: Reciprocating SoftwareScroll Software 1.A:\DATAVIEW1.A:\SCROLLDV 2.A:\DATAVIEW\DATA2.A:\SCROLLDV\DATA 3.A:\DATAVIEW\PRN_FLS3.A:\SCROLLDV\PRN_FLS b) If a previous version of the DataView program exist on the HP Palmtop, delete all the files in A:\DATAVIEW direc- tory, “DEL A:\DATAVIEW\*.*.” or “DEL A:\SCROLLDV\*.*.” c) The HP Palmtop is supplied with the “HP Connectivity Pack Program.” Prior to transferring the files the user will ensure this program resides on the HP Palmtop and the PC. d) Using the cables provided with the HP Palmtop, connect the HP Palmtop to the PC. e) Start the HP Connectivity Software Program on the HP Palmtop and the PC. f) Copy all the program files located on the PC in the C:\”directory” where ”directory” is the directory defined in the installation instructions step c, to the A:\DATAVIEW or A:\SCROLLDV directory on the HP Palmtop. Additional Steps For The Pen -- based Computer Without A Floppy Drive This section describes the steps required to transfer the DataView program from the PC to a Pen--Based computer. a) Using a serial cable the user shall connect the Pen--Based computer to the PC. b) The user shall start the Windows Terminal program on the Pen--Based computer and the PC. c) The user shall copy the installation files located on the PC’s hard drive (i.e., C:\) or the floppy drive (i.e., A:\ or B:\). The installation files are copied into a temporary directory on the Pen--Based computer (i.e., C:\Temp). d) After the installation files are copied to the Pen--Based computer, type C:\Temp\Install to start the installation pro- gram. e) Follow the steps defined above to install the program onto the Pen--Based computer. f) To run the program the CONFIG.SYS file needs to be modified. These changes are required to increase the amount of system memory used by the DataView program. If these changes are not made, the DataView program will run out of memory. An out of memory message is displayed, to indicate the problem. For example; when the user is viewing a file, only a portion of the file will be processed and displayed. The user is notified of the date range that was processed and can be viewed. The user can continue and view the data or cancel the operation.
