DESCRIPTION

1.1 HARDW ARE AND SOFTWARE

This manual contains information on the Carrier Transicold DataView Program and its interface with the

DataCORDER. The DataView program is used to retrieve data stored in the DataCORDER.

Data retrieval can be accomplished with one of the following devices:

1. Stand-alone DOS based portable personal computer (PC) with appropriate cable and software

2. Carrier DataReader hand held interrogator (refer to Section 4)

The retrieved data can then be printed from a PC in short or long form reports. From the DataReader, it can be

transferred to a personal computer (PC) for long-term storage on a floppy or hard disk.

The DataView software for a portable computer is supplied on 3.5 inch floppy disks for DOS (refer to Table 1-1). This

software allows data extraction, screen view of the data, hard copy report generation, US DA cold treatment probe

calibration and file management.

1.2 DataCORDER

The DataCORDER records and stores data. While this manual primarily addresses the interrogation of the

Micro-Link 2 and the Micro-Link 2i DataCORDER (see Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2), interrogation can also be done on

units with the Micro-Link 1 DataCORDER (see Figure 1-3). Additional information on the DataCORDER may be

found in the unit Operation and S ervice manuals. Please refer to the separately bound manuals listed i n Table 1-2.

1.2.3 Micro-Link 1 Controller/DataCORDER

The Carrier Transicold Micro-Link 1 Controller (see Figure 1-3) predates the Micro-Link 2 Controller. Micro-Link 1

units with the DataCORDER option are equipped with a DataCORDER that is an integral part of the Controller.

Interrogation of Micro-Link 1 and Micro-Link 2 Controllers will have some differences.

1.2.4 DataCORDER Capabilities (Micro-Link 2 and Micro-Link 2i only)

The C arrier DataCORDER is a flexible recording device with the following capabilities:

a. Sensors

Up to six thermistor temperature probes can be connected directly to the DataCORDER.

These probes are referred to as:

1. Supply

2. R eturn

3. USDA 1

4. USDA 2

5. USDA 3

6. Auxiliary Cargo Probe

On separate DataCORDER modules (Micro-Link 2 only) there are also two 0-5vdc inputs available for future

expansion. In addition to these inputs, an additional eight sensors connected to the refrigeration or controlled

atmosphere controllers can be recorded.

1. This list of sensors includes:

2. Humidity Sensor

3. C ontrolled Atmosphere Gas Sensors

4. Temperature Controller Probes (including: supply, return, and defrost temperatures)

5. C ontroller Pressure Sensors

6. Current Sensors

7. Line Voltage Sensor

8. Frequency

NOTE

The s upply and return sensors (SR S and RRS) used by the DataCORDER are not the same supply and return

sensors (STS and RTS) used by the Controller.

b. Log Interval

Micro-Link DataCORDER’s log data on 60 minute intervals from time of trip start. Micro-Link 2/2i DataCORDER

sensors can be recorded at intervals of 15, 30, 60 (default), or 120 minutes. Data is logged on the exact interval, using a

precise real time clock (RTC). All clocks are set to Greenwich Mean Time at the factory and all recording is done on

the exact interval (at 12:00 for example, rather than 12:03).

NOTE

Unless specified by your customer to set t he DataCORDER clocks for another time zone, the clocks should

NOT be adjusted.

c. Sensor Recording Format

Sensors can be recorded in a wide variety of formats. A one byte temperature format can be used for compact data

storage. A two byte format can be used for high resolution over the entire temperature range.

1. One byte format (default): 0.25C(.45F) steps in chilled mode; 0.5C(.9F) steps in frozen mode

2. Two byte format: 0 .010C steps for entire range

d. Sampling Type

1. Averaged (default): shows average of data from every minute over the logging interval .

2. Snapshot: shows snapshot of data at the log interval .

3. USDA: shows snapshot of data at a 60 minute log interval.

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 car go 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 Car go 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 car go 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 m emory and reported as an event.

SYSTEM SETUP

2.1 HARDW ARE PLATFORMS SUPPORTED

The DataView S oftware 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. Other, less capable computers may be used for the actual data extraction.

TOPIC 2 DESKTOP QUICK START

This section describes the installation procedure for the DOS DataVi ew 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 DataVi ew 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 penbasedcomputer. Use the up/down arrowkeysto 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 t he destination directory must be

changed. Suggested change is C:\SCROLLDV. If the destination directory i s not changed, installation of new

reciprocating software will overwrite the scroll software.

c) The destination directory selection screen is displayed. Enter the directory the DataVi ew 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 t o 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.

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 t he previous customized version of t he 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 t he previous customized version of t he 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 t o 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 Software Scroll Software

1. A:\DATAVIEW 1. A:\SCROLLDV

2. A:\DATAVIEW\DATA 2. A:\SCROLLDV\DATA

3. A:\DATAVIEW\PRN_FLS 3. 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 t o transferring the f iles 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 t he Pen -- Based computer (i.e., C:\Temp).

d) After the installation files are copied to the Pen --Based computer, t ype 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.
