4. MEASURING PROCEDURE
1)Install the batteries into the battery compartment :
* Loose the " Screw of the battery cover " ( 3-10, Fig. 1 )
and take away the " Battery Cover " ( 3-9, Fig. 1 ) from
the meter.
* Replace with DC 1.5 V battery ( UM4/AAA, Alkaline/Heavy
duty type ) x 6 PCs, and reinstate the cover.
* Make sure the battery cover is secured after changing
the battery.
2)The " Display " ( 3-1, Fig. 1 ) will show both the
humidity and the temperature value that sensing from
Humidity/Temp. sensor " ( 3-6, Fig. 1 ).
5. DATALOGGER
5-1 Preparation before execute datalogger function
a. Insert the SD card
Prepare a " SD memory card " ( 1 GB to 16 GB, optional ),
insert the SD card into the " SD card socket " ( 3-13, Fig. 1)
with the correct direction exactly.
b. SD card Format
If SD card just the first time use into the meter, it
recommend to make the " SD card Format " at first,
please refer chapter 7-1 ( page 11 ).
c. Time setting
If the meter is used at first time, it should to adjust the
clock time exactly, please refer chapter 7-2 ( page 11 ).

d. Decimal format setting
The numerical data structure of SD card is
default used the " . " as the decimal, for
example "20.6" "1000.53" . But in certain
countries ( Europe ...) is used the " , " as the
decimal point, for example " 20, 6 "
"1000,53". Under such situation, it should
change the Decimal character at first, details
of setting the Decimal point, refer to Chapter
7-5, page 13.
e. 3 Information of LCD display
*If the Display show :
It means that the SD card exist the problem
CH- or the SD card memory is full, it should
CArd change SD memory card.
* If the Display show :
It means that the battery is low voltage.
LobAt Under such condition, the Datalogger
function is disable.
* If the Display show :
It means that the SD card is not plugged
no into the meter.

5-2 Datalogger
a. Start the datalogger
Press the " Logger button ( 3-2, Fig. 1 ) > 2 seconds
continuously, until the Display show the indicator "
DATALOGGER ", release the " Logger Button " ( 3-2, Fig.
1 ), then the measuring data along the time information
will be saved into the memory circuit.
Remark :
*
How to set the sampling time, refer to Chapter 7-3,
page 12.
*
How to set the beeper sound is enable, refer to
Chapter 7-4, page 12.
c.. Finish the Datalogger
During execute the Datalogger function ( Display show the
" Datalogger " indicator ), press the " Logger button " ( 3-2,
Fig. 1 ) > 2 seconds continuously, until the Display
indicator " DATALOGGER " is disappeared, release the
" Logger Button " will finish the Datalogger function.
Before take away the SD card from the
meter, it should execute the
procedures of " Finish the Datalogger ",
otherwise some existing recent save
data may loss.
5-3 Check time information
Press " Time button " ( 3-3, Fig. 1 ) > 2 seconds
continuously, the LCD display will present the time
information of Year/Month/Date, Hour/Minute/Second and
the sampling value.

5-4 SD Card Data structure
1)When the first time, the SD card is used into the meter,
the SD card will generate a folder :
HTC01
2)If the first time to execute the Datalogger, under the
route HTC01\, will generate a new file name
HTC01001.XLS.
After exist the Datalogger, then execute again, the data
will save to the HTC01001.XLS until Data column reach
to 30,000 columns, then will generate a new file, for
example HTC01002.XLS
3)Under the folder HTC01\, if the total files more
than 99 files, will generate anew route, such as
HTC02\ ........
4)The file's route structure :
HTC01\
HTC01001.XLS
HTC01002.XLS
.....................
HTC01099.XLS
HTC02\
HTC02001.XLS
HTC02002.XLS
.....................
HTC02099.XLS
HTCXX\
.....................
.....................
Remark :
XX : Max. value is 10.

6. Saving data from the SD card
to the computer ( EXCEL software )
1)After execute the Data Logger function, take away the
SD card out from the " SD card socket " ( 3-13, Fig. 1 ).
2)Plug in the SD card into the Computer's SD card slot
( if your computer build in this installation ) or
insert the SD card into the " SD card adapter ". then
connect the " SD card adapter " into the computer.
3)Power ON the computer and run the " EXCEL software ".
Down load the saving data file ( for example the file
name : HTA01001.XLS, HTA01002.XLS ) from the SD
card to the computer. The saving data will present into
the EXCEL software screen ( for example as following
EXCEL data screens ) , then user can use those EXCEL
data to make the further Data or Graphic analysis
usefully.
