4.6 Kistock – data collector interface
4.6.1 Download the Kistoc data on the data collector
Procedure to download data:
When data are transferred from the Kistock to the data collector, these measurement data are copied. Only the
sending of a new configuration with the data collector or the Kilog 20 5 software allows to start an other dataset
(see procedure described page 9).
Device use 7
REC
If the data collector does not detect any point to download:
The data collector displays “No Pts” error message.
This message indicates that the dataset did not start already or that
the first point is not recorded yet.
Check that the dataset started:
If the Kistock is still waiting for dataset to start, it displays
flashing icon*.
Press the data collector OK key to start the dataset.
The data collector displays “Start Yes”.
Press OK to confirm (to cancel, press elect., “ top no” displays
then press OK).
If the dataset is finished:

4.6.2 Reconfigure the Kistoc and start an other measurement dataset
Once the measurement dataset is transferred to the data collector (see the downloading procedure page 7), it is possible to
start an other dataset directly from the data collector.
Two recording configurations can be sent:
•“Loop”: values are recorded continuously and when the storage capacity is full, the first recorded values are
overwritten by the new ones.
OR
•“Total memory”: values are recorded until the storage capacity of the device is reached.
The configuration which is sent depends on the Kistock last configuration

Other configuration parameters (recording intervals, stop by button, etc.) remain unchanged.
If a configuration different from “Loop” or “Total memory” recording mode is required, please use the Kilog 2015
software: for more details about device configuration via software, please see the Kilog 2015 software user
manual.
8Device use

Procedure to send a new configuration:
Once the dataset is transferred to the data collector (see downloading procedure described page 7, screens to 3):
When a new configuration is sent on the Kistock with the data collector, two types of start can be sent: start by PC
or start by button. The type of start which is sent depends on an immediate start or not of the dataset with the
data collector.
Device use 9
No new configuration is sent:
The Kistock displays *.
The data collector displays “On”.
No new configuration has been sent on the Kistock.
To start a new measurement dataset, reconfigure the device
with the data collector, following the opposite procedure, or
with the Kilog 2015 software (please see the Kilog 20 5 software
user manual).
A new configuration is sent:
The Kistock displays flashing icon*.
Device is waiting for start.
The data collector displays “On”.
A new configuration has been sent but
the dataset did not start.
The Kistock is automatically configured with
a type of start by button: the new dataset
can be started by pressing the OK key of the
Kistock.
An other measurement dataset starts:
The data collector displays the new
configuration transfer progression: 0-100%
then displays “On”.
The Kistock displays *
A new configuration has been sent and
an other measurement dataset starts.
The Kistock is automatically configured
with type of start by PC.

4.8 Data collector – PC interface without Kilo 2015 software
It is also possible to manage the files of the data collector without using the Kilog 2015 software.
In this case, the KNT 320 data collector works as a USB flash drive. It is recognised by the computer as a removable disk
with the name “KNT-320”.
➢Plug the data collector on a USB port of the computer.
The following auto-play window opens:
➢Click on “Open folder to view files”.
The folders are organised according to the serial num er of the devices used. The su -folders are settled y dates
of the measurement datasets. In these su -folders are stored the measurement datasets files: they are named as
the dataset has een defined.
➢Follow the same procedure as with a USB key to rename, copy, transfer or delete files.
➢For a data processing, the Kilog 2015 software is necessary. If the software is installed on your computer, double-
click on the required dataset file to open it.
