16.5 Transferring Files to a Personal Computer
Data Logger files can be transmitted, via the RS-232 I/O port, to
an IBM compatible personal computer. Files are automatically
formatted and transmitted as ASCII text files.
Once saved on disk, data can be viewed on screen, printed, or
transferred to standard word processing, data base, spreadsheet,
and applications software. Custom applications software, such as
Krautkramer’s DATAMATE Thickness Data Control Programs and
PIPE+ Corrosion Inspection Program, can also be used for more
extensive analysis and corrosion rate prediction.
An optional USN52 L Data Transfer Utility Program, simplifies the
transfer of data to the PC. The Utility Program has a language
selection feature.
Connect the RS-232 I/O port of the USN52 L to the serial port of
the computer using the proper cable. For 25 pin serial ports use
Krautkramer product code 022-505-516. For 9 pin serial ports, an
additional adapter, product code 021-382-565, is required.

report showing contents of the currently selected file
can be transmitted while the A-scan is displayed. Only the cur-
rently selected file will be transmitted.

mitted using the Data Logger functions in lower level menu.
