Chart Recorder and Data Logger



The chart recorder can record object distances with the associated signal strengths of the sound reflection at the object over time. The recording speed is adjustable in five levels.

For measuring cycle times of more than 5 milliseconds, the data logger continuously records measured values without any loss of measuring cycles. The measured values are first filed in the RAM of the PC. After completion of the recording phase, the user can assign a file name and path for the filing on a storage medium. The recording format is CSV (Comma-Separated Values) and can be read and processed with, for example, Microsoft Excel.

The expected file size can be calculated using the following formula:
file size = size of data packet * recording duration / measuring cycle time + 82 bytes

Overview about data packet sizes:
 Echo telegram  Minimal size of a data packet  Typical size of a data packet  Maximum size of a data packet

 MEASURED VALUE

 13 bytes

 17 bytes

 20 bytes

 ECHO1

 26 bytes

 32 bytes

 38 bytes

 ECHO3

 38 bytes

 51 bytes

 70 bytes

 ECHO5

 50 bytes

 70 bytes

 90 bytes


Example:
Recording of the MEASURED VALUE telegram of a UC500 with a measuring cycle time of 14 ms over a duration of one hour:
expected file size (typical) = 17 bytes * 3,600,000 ms / 14 ms + 82 bytes = 4,371,511 bytes = 4.17 MB
