Ref :UM-CT7-11-001 Issue : 01 Date : 28/04/2011 Page 26 of 35 7.3.1 About This entry gives information on the software version and OPO address. 7.3.2 Data handling This entry initiates a function allowing manipulating the data, retrieving data from the instrument and saving them into the PC etc. Note that only the data recorded off line in the CT7 are concerned here; data recorded in PC mode are directly entered in a PC file and do not transit through the CT7. It is operated through a self explanatory screen as it appears below.

You have to define and save a folder to keep the data of the CT7 that is connected to the PC; once defined, each time the same instrument is connected, and it will open the defined folder and if data are read out from the CT7 new data will be appended to the previous ones in the folder. In order to read new data from the CT7 you have to push the button Read measurements from CT7 (Lire les measures du CT7). Only new measurements will be appended to the folder. In order to work with the data, you can select data by their name from a list of available names (Mesures disponibles).

The Available list is limited in time between two dates (Pйriode d’analyse) defined in the two cases at the left bottom of the page by the Start (dйpart) date and the Stop (arrкt) date. Select data names in the “ Available list” (left box) and toggle them to the Selected list (right box) using the appropriate button in between the two boxes (>); if you want to select all available data, use the >> button. The reverse buttons are used to suppress data names from the Select list.

Once you have completed the selection you want, you may inspect the selected data (by pressing Visualize the measurements (Visualiser les measures) or you may export the selected measurements for further handling by pressing Export the measurements (Exporter les measures).
