4.14 Downloading Stored Data to a Computer
The combustion test data that was stored in either the analyzer’s Memory
Directory (Section 4.7), or Logging Directory (Section 4.12), can be down-
loaded to a computer using the PCA 2 Data Recovery Program and USB
cable that are supplied with the analyzer.
The following procedures assume that the operator is familiar with creat-
ing folders and navigating the file structure of the Windows operating sys-
tem. If necessary, consult the Windows help files for instructions on how to
perform these procedures.
The downloaded data is stored on the computer’s hard drive – or removable
media of the operator’s choosing – as a comma-separated-value ASCII text
file with a CSV extension. This type of file can be opened by most spread-
sheet programs for analysis.
Computer requirements:
• Windows 98SE or higher
• CD ROM drive
• USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 port
• 12 MB of hard drive space for the PCA 2 data recovery program, plus
up to an additional 350 KB for each download
