1 Tasks and Functions of the HMG 3010
1.1 Standard functions of the HMG 3010
The HMG 3010 portable data recorder is a hand-held unit for measurement and data ac-
quisition tasks on hydraulic and pneumatic systems. Applications are primarily in mainte-
nance and servicing, troubleshooting and test rigs.
The HMG 3010 can monitor signals from up to ten sensors simultaneously. The unit has 5
input jacks for connecting the sensors; if necessary this number can be doubled using a
Y adapter (if more than 5 sensors are required). HYDAC ELECTRONIC provides suitable
HSI sensors (HYDAC Sensor Interface) for pressure, temperature and flow rate which are
automatically recognised and for which the measuring range and unit are set by the
HMG 3010 - the easiest choice for customers.
You also have the option of connecting SMART sensors to the HMG 3010. These represent
a sensor generation from HYDAC which can output several different measured variables.
These sensors are also automatically recognized by the HMG 3010 via HSI, and the meas-
ured values including the measurement unit are shown in the display.
The HMG 3010 can render up to 32 measurement channels in total.
Depending on the sensor type, the sensor has an internal memory for the storage of rec-
orded measurement data on a long-term basis. In addition, depending on the sensor type,
preset parameters can be changed and stored in the internal memory as a sensor configu-
ration.
Older model HYDAC sensors or commonly available sensors made by other manufacturers
can also be used. However, these sensors do not have any automatic sensor detection,
consequently the initial set-up has to be entered manually.
The operator can access all of the unit’s functions and settings by means of clearly pre-
sented selection menus. The HMG 3010 has a combination keypad for entering numeric
values and text, similar to a mobile phone.
The HMG 3010 is designed in particular for recording typical measurements (pressure,
temperature, flow rate) in hydraulic and pneumatic systems. A variety of other measure-
ment tasks can be performed using additional inputs for voltage measurement.
For example, checking the actuation of a switching valve or plotting the characteristic curve
of a valve setpoint. In addition, it is also possible to determine differential values between
the measured values of individual sensors. One example of this is taking a flow rate meas-
urement using a differential pressure orifice.
In addition to the analogue measurement inputs, the HMG 3010 features two digital inputs
(e.g. for measuring frequency or speed), thus expanding the unit’s range of potential appli-
cations.
When taking measurements of rapid, dynamic machine processes, all 8 analogue input
signals can be recorded simultaneously at a rate of 0.5 ms.

HMG 3010 Page 5
Edition 2013-03-26 - V04 R01 Part No.: 669855
One special feature of the HMG 3010 is its ability to also monitor highly
dynamic processes in a machine. To achieve this, two input channels can record measured
values at a rate of 0.1 ms. This function of course requires suitable fast sensors to be used.
The most attractive feature of the HMG 3010 is its ability to record the dynamic processes of
a machine in the form of a measurement curve and render them as a graph — and, moreo-
ver, online and in real time.
The HMG 3010 is equipped with specially developed software providing for fast data collec-
tion and processing. A measurement curve can consist of up to 500,000 measured values.
The HMG 3010 memory is capable of storing at least 100 such measurement curves.
In addition to enabling simple measurement curves to be recorded, the HMG 3010 also has
other functions enabling event-driven measurements to be taken and event logs to be rec-
orded. Various trigger options are available for triggering events.
Apart from measurement curves, the HMG 3010 can store user-specific settings (user pro-
files). The main advantage of this is to enable identical measurements of various equipment
items to be repeated for the purpose of preventive maintenance. All the user has to do is
retrieve the relevant user profile from the HMG 3010’s memory.
The HMG 3010 has a 3.5" color display with graphics capabilities, which can show the
measured values either as text or as measurement curve. Individual measured values can
be displayed in a large format (7-segment format), enabling them to be read from far away.
The HMG 3010 also has a variety of user-friendly features for displaying, evaluating and
processing measured values:
•Table
•Graph
•Scaling
•Ruler
•Tracker
•Zoom

ware HMGWIN which is specific to the HMG 3010, is supplied for convenient post-
processing, rendering and evaluation of measurements on your computer. It also ena-
bles the HMG 3010 to be operated directly from your computer.
The HYDAC software CMWIN is also supplied as standard with the unit. This software
enables you to communicate directly from your computer with SMART sensors connect-
ed to the HMG 3010.

4.3 Switching on the instrument
When starting the unit up for the first time the
Welcome start-up screen appears. Select
your language using the 5-way navigation key
(select or checkmark your option by pressing
OK) and set the date and time. Select the
desired format, and then enter the current
date and time via the keypad. Save your en-
tries by pressing OK, followed by Next.
The following appears in the display when
starting the unit up in normal operation:
•Manufacturer
•Designation of the instrument
•HMG version
•Date and time
•Battery charge status
The screen switches to measured value
display mode in a few seconds. If sensors
are already connected, the current meas-
ured values are shown in the Current
Measured Values menu (see title bar at
top of display). To skip through the start-
up screen more quickly and proceed di-
rectly to the measured values menu, press
Esc or OK.
The following is listed in the measured values
screen (see screenshot): Input channel – Des-
ignation – Value – Unit (of measurement)
The menu bar at the bottom of the screen
(function bar) displays the main menu and
next to that, on the right, the battery charge
status. The main menu contains the follow-
ing functions which you can access using
the navigation key (arrow key) plus the OK
key.
Settings — for entering or retrieving set-
ting data used for performing measure-
ments
Recording — for recording a measure-
ment and graphically rendering meas-
urement data, e.g. as a curve
Note
:
As a rule, functions which can be
selected and executed are in
blue.
Functions which can’t be se-
lected or altered are in Black.
Warnings appear in red
when input data is incorrect.

HMG 3010 Page 12
Edition 2013-03-26 - V04 R01 Part No.: 669855
Extras — for other functions,
plus a function for displaying the
Min/Max values.
Measuring the Min/Max values has a special
significance and is explained in more detail
below.
Apart from the current measured values, the
HMG records the minimum and maximum
values (Min/Max values) too, except when
plotting a measurement curve. The minimum
value is the lowest value to which a meas-
ured variable has dropped during the time
period under consideration, the maximum
value being the highest value achieved by a
measured variable during this period. Reset-
ting causes the Min/Max values to be set to
the actual measured value at the time. This
will reset all sensors.
The time period always begins when the
Min/Max values are reset. The values are
reset in the following situations:
•Switching the unit on
•Selecting and activating Reset function in
the menu bar
(only if Min/Max is active)
•Connecting or removing an HSI sensor
•Altering the sensor settings
•While recording an event log
•When finishing recording
Before resetting the Min/Max values it is fre-
quently necessary to determine when the
Min/Max values were last reset. To do this, go
to Extras in the function bar and then About
HMG 3010.
Note:
Even when the Min/Max values
are not shown in the display,
the HMG is nevertheless re-
cording them in the back-
ground.

5 Getting Started Guide
This Getting Started Guide outlines the basic steps for conducting a simple measurement
(measured values shown in display) and plotting a measurement curve (graph of measured
values). The examples involve pressure measurement using 2 pressure transmitters with
sensor detection (HSI sensors). For a detailed description of all the settings, see Detailed
Operating Instructions.
The examples are based on the factory settings of the HMG 3010. Simply follow the
steps described here. If you don’t know the status of your HMG 3010 because there
might be more than one user in your company using the HMG, you can simply restore
the unit to its "as supplied" condition (see Manage Settings — Restore Factory Settings).
Preparation for Performing a Measurement
First charge the batteries or connect the power supply as described in Power Supply.
Two HYDAC HDA 4748-H-0400-000 pressure transmitters with automatic sensor detec-
tion are used in the following example.
Example of a Simple Measurement Us-
ing Two Pressure Transmitters
Connect the two pressure transmitters
hydraulically to your machine and connect
the two pressure transmitters using the sen-
sor connector cables, e.g. to sockets
A and B of the HMG 3010.
After the HMG 3010 is switched on it jumps
to the Current Measured Values menu. The
function bar contains various functions
providing quick access to the three main
menus:
-Settings
-Recording
-Extras
and to the display of the
-Min/Max values.

Edition 2013-03-26 - V04 R01 Part No.: 669855
When HSI sensors with automatic sensor
detection are used, the HMG automatically
detects the measurement range and the unit
of measurement of the two connected pres-
sure transmitters and shows them in the dis-
play with the actual measured values. You
can also display the minimum and maximum
values for the sensors.
To hide or show the Min/Max display, press
the right arrow of the 5-way navigation key
until Min/Max is highlighted in blue and then
press the OK key. The Min/Max values of the
sensors are now also displayed. Press the
OK key again to hide the Min/Max display.
When the Min/Max values are shown, Reset
appears in the function bar, enabling you to
reset the Min/Max values as required. Select
Reset using the arrow keys (blue highlight)
and then press the OK key to reset the
Min/Max values.
The measured values can also be displayed
in a 7-segment pane. To do this, go to Set-
tings in the function bar and then press OK.
In the Settings menu, navigate to Change
display settings using the 5-way navigation
key, and then confirm with OK (see screen-
shot of two-pane display on the next page).
Now select the second item, Measured val-
ue rendering. Measured value table is the
default setting here. Press OK. A drop-
down list appears in which you navigate to
2 display panels using the arrow keys, fol-
lowed by confirming with OK. To return to
the measured value display press Esc
twice.

HMG 3010 Page 15
Edition 2013-03-26 - V04 R01 Part No.: 669855
The HMG now shows the measured values
in the 7-segment display panes. Depending
on the setting, the Min/Max values are
shown in addition to the current measured
values.
The Recording menu is used for recording
measurement curves. During recording, the
measured values are recorded for a certain
period of time, stored and then shown as a
graph.
Example of Recording a Measurement
Curve:
The function bar of the Actual Measured
Values menu contains the item Recording.
Select it using the 5-way navigation key, fol-
lowed by OK. In the Recording menu that
follows, select Start recording and confirm
with OK.
In the menu that follows, Start Recording,
you are shown the default settings for re-
cording a measurement curve. In our exam-
ple, we want to generate a Simple meas-
urement curve with two sensors at chan-
nels A and B with a sampling rate of 1 ms
and a Recording time of 30 s. Then meas-
urement is to be finished.
Simple measurement curve is already set
in the menu. For the other settings, proceed
as follows:
Using the arrow keys of the 5-way navigation
key, select the third item, Sampling rate.
OK opens up a drop-down list where you
select a sampling rate of 1 ms, confirm with
OK. This takes you automatically to the Re-
cording time line. Press OK. Scroll down
the list using the arrow keys to 30 seconds,
and confirm with OK.

In the Recording option line, select End
when time has elapsed in the same man-
ner.
In the Automatic operation line, select the
Deactivated option and in the Magnified
section the 5 second option.
Your display now shows the settings you
made for recording measured values (see
screenshot). To double-check your settings,
refer to the recorded data selected by you
above the function bar.
Now you can start recording by pressing
Start in the function bar + OK. A progress
bar shows you the status of your measure-
ment. The function bar offers you the option
of having the measurement curve plotted or

Graphic rendering provides a faster visual
impression of the changes in the measured
values. To have the measurement curve
displayed while recording, select Graph +
OK. The screenshot on the right shows you
the curve plotted for our example.
When recording is finished, you have the
option of saving or discarding the measure-
ment. To save the recording, select Save
and confirm with OK. The HMG automatical-
ly assigns a name and a consecutive num-
ber, which can also be renamed by you. In
our example, accept the name suggested by
the HMG and save with OK.

Submenus of the Settings menu:
•Change settings of measurement
channels
•Change display settings
•Zero measurement channels
•Change initial setup
•Administer settings (save, load, ...)
•Administer sensor configuration
(not visible unless the configuration of a
SMART sensor has been read out, see
section 6.4.2.5)
6.1.1 Change settings of measure-
ment channels
Select Change settings of measurement
channels to obtain a listing of all the chan-
nels available in the HMG (see screenshot).
There is a checkbox next to each of the
channels enabling you to switch the input
on or off (+ OK key).Activated channels
are marked by an “X”. To the right of the
checkbox is the measurement range set-
ting, the unit of measurement, and, as
applicable, a designation for the sensor,
e.g. "System pressure".
For connection to CAN-bus:
If the connection adapter ZBE 3010 is
plugged into D/H, the HMG 3010 automati-
cally switches channel D to CAN-bus and
channel H to off.
For all the setting options for CAN-Bus, see
Section 6.5‚ CAN Functions.

HMG 3010 Page 19
Edition 2013-03-26 - V04 R01 Part No.: 669855
The various options available for channels A
to H are demonstrated here using channel A
as an example. Select the measurement
range entry on the right of the channel us-
ing the navigation keys and press OK. This
takes you to the menu window for the se-
lected channel.
To enter a designation, press OK again
and then enter it in the box using the com-
bination keypad, followed by OK.
In the Mode menu you now have the option
of Automatic detection (HSI) and Manual.
The Automatic detection (HSI) option is
used for HYDAC sensors which have auto-
matic sensor detection. The Manual setting
is used for adapting sensors with standard
analogue signals (e.g. 4 - 20 mA) to the
HMG.
However, there are applications for which it
is useful to enter settings manually, also in
the case of HSI sensors with sensor recogni-
tion. For example, by entering settings man-
ually for a pressure measurement, you can
have physical variables displayed which are
proportional to the pressure, e.g. force.
Manual mode also provides the following
further settings:
•Input signal
•Upper and lower measurement range
•Unit (of measurement)
•Decimal format
As soon as you select one of these items, a
drop-down list appears or a box appears for
entering your settings.

HMG 3010 Page 20
Edition 2013-03-26 - V04 R01 Part No.: 669855
For Input signal you can choose between
HSI (HYDAC Sensor Interface) and various
standard analogue signals in the drop-down
list (using the arrow keys). To set the Lower
and Upper measurement range, enter the
relevant limits via the combination keypad.
A drop-down list is also provided for
selecting the Unit (of measurement). You
also have the option of defining your own
unit with other (top line of the drop-down
list). The cursor then jumps to the input
box and a small triangular arrow appears
as the insertion point. Enter the new unit
using the combination keypad, e.g. ”kPa”
for kilopascal.
To enter additional characters, move the
triangle insertion point to the desired posi-
tion and enter the characters. Confirm your
entry with OK so that your unit of meas-
urement is stored.
Decimal format: Here you can specify how
many decimal places are to be used when
recording and displaying the measured val-
ues.
In addition to the settings described above,
Channel B has two further measurement
options. In the Mode drop-down menu you
now also have the menu options Pressure
difference dP and Orifice measurement
Q=f(dP). With Pressure difference dP the
HMG 3010 gives you the opportunity to dis-
play the difference in pressure between
channel A – channel B with a very high de-
gree of accuracy. This can be used, for ex-
ample, to determine if a filter is clogged, by
measuring the pressure differential.
