1 Introduction
1-1 Summary
C-LOGGER is an application for performing data acquirement easily by using
CONTEC Analog Input boards. It does not need complicated programming at all.
1-2 Features

Sampling and Displaying Data with High-speed
By optimizing the logic of data transfer, the acquirement can be performed at
the maximum extent of sampling rate which hardware has. It is possible to
acquire data continuously at 500 kHz per channel (depending on the PC
environment and device).
Moreover, by using CONTEC unique technology for drawing graph, the
movement will not be aggravated even if there is a lot of data to display.

Supporting Many CONTEC Analog Input Boards
C-LOGGER supports many CONTEC analog input boards, such as F series
(multi-function type), EV series (mass on-board memory type), L series (low
price type), and so on. For bus type, the lineup of USB, Card Bus, PCI and Low
Profile PCI is provided so C-LOGGER can be used for a broad use.
Caution
Available functions depend on the devices being used. Please refer 62 [Device Specification] for details.

Supporting Plural Windows
More than one YT Window and the Value Window for observing acquired data
can be opened at the same time and those sizes can also be changed freely.
Moreover, the settings of channel to display can be specified for windows one
by one. Thereby, it can be used as user’s fancies.

By
dialogue
interface, the settings for acquirement conditions can be
performed easily. Moreover, the acquirement conditions which have been
specified can be saved to a file. By loading this file, the acquirement can be
performed immediately in the same conditions.

Operating Intuitively with File Viewer and Property Viewer
The acquired data or the data loaded from file is shown as tree-view in File
Viewer. C-LOGGER can load plural files and manage them in File Viewer. The
information of files and acquired data is shown in Property Viewer.

Saving to File Automatically for Long-time and Mass-data Acquirement
For Long-time acquirement and Mass-data acquirement, the acquired data can
be saved to file automatically.

Displaying Graph in 2 Screens: Whole and Zoom
In YT Window, the graph can be displayed in 2 screens: Whole Screen and
Zoom Screen. All of the acquired data are displayed in Whole Screen, and a
part of data is displayed in Zoom Screen for being confirmed in detail. The
scope that determines the position of Zoom Screen is shown in Whole Screen.
By these 2 screens, high-level operability is provided.

C-LOGGER Manual
5. Usage
Binary value is the value inputted from device and not be converted to
voltage value.
The range of data is depended on the resolution of used device (value of
(4)Resolution).
Resolution of device is 12 bit : 0 -- 4095
Resolution of device is 16 bit : 0 -- 65535
Convert Binary value to Voltage value
The following formula is used when converting a binary value into a voltage value.
Voltage = Binary * (Range Max. – Range Min.) / Resolution + Range Min.
Example: While the Resolution is 16 bits, Input Range is -10V – 10V, and
Binary value is 32767, the Voltage value is -0.0003V as following
calculation.
32767 * (10 – (-10)) / 65535 + (-10) = -0.0003V

7-1 Q&A

About File Format
Q1-1. The data stored in CSV file is different from actual voltage values being
acquired.
A1-1. The data being written in CSV file is not the voltage value but the format of
offset binary. Please refer to “5-5 Saving and Loading Data” for details.
Q1-2.
How
is
the
filename
attached
while
the
acquired
data
is
saved
automatically?
A1-2. (Version since 1.14) The filename is attached based on the time that began
to be acquired.
Example: The time that began to be acquired at 2006/4/1 12:34:56, the
filename is 20060401_123456.clb
(Version before 1.14) The filename is attached based on current time.
Example: While the file is saved at 2006/4/1 12:34:56, the filename is
20060401_123456.clb
Q1-3. Can the file saved in binary form be converted to CSV form? Is it possible
for the opposite conversion?
A1-3. Yes. By loading the saved binary file with C-LOGGER and saving it into CSV
form again, it is possible to convert a file from binary form to CSV form.
And it is similar to convert a file from CSV form to binary form.
Q1-4. I want to know the data format in binary file form, where is it described?
A1-4. It is not open to the public, please contact support center separately.
Q1-5.
C-LOGGER is locked while saving data to file in CSV form.
A1-5.
It takes a long time to save file in CSV form. Other C-LOGGER operation
- 80 -
C-LOGGER Manual
7. Appendix
can not be done at the time of saving data to a file.
Q1-6.
C-LOGGER is forced to terminate while load data in CSV form.
A1-6.
When the CSV file, which is saved by C-LOGGER, is loaded by Excel or
other application, its contents will be modified. The modified file cannot be
loaded by C-LOGGER.

About Excel
Q2-1. When using the “Send to EXCEL” function, is there a limit to
the number of the data which can be sent?
A2-1. It is the specification that for performing sending data to excel, when the
number of the sent data reached 65536 points, data transfer will be
continued with switching to the next sheet automatically. When the sheet
does not exist, a new sheet will be made automatically and data transfer
will be continued. Therefore, the points of the data can be sent is: the
number of sheets can be made ×65536. The maximum number of sheets
can be made depends on the size of the memory used by excel.
Q2-2.
I have specified that send data to Excel in Logging Wizard, but it is not
being sent.
A2-2.
Please confirm the version of Excel. The earlier version before Excel2000 is
not supported.
Q2-3.
An error occurred on sending data to Excel and acquirement stopped.
A2-3. The sampling clock is so fast that it is not enough for sending data to Excel.
Please slow down the sampling clock.

About Acquirement Setting
Q3-1.
How long is possible for long-time acquirement?
A3-1.
The infinite acquirement is supported as specification of C-LOGGER. It is
dependent on the availability of hard disk in fact.
Q3-2.
Can the auto-save of acquirement data be performed at any timing or any
number of data?
- 81 -
C-LOGGER Manual
A3-2.
7. Appendix
The auto-save is performed at the timing while the acquired data is
accumulated for the size of memory used in C-LOGGER. (It is same as the
timing at which the lines are drawn to the extreme right in YT-Graph.)
Therefore, this timing cannot be specified at will. But it can be regulated to
some extent by modifying the size of memory to be used in C-LOGGER.
([View]-[Memory Option])
Q3-3. Is it possible to save the file automatically when the acquirement finished?
A3-3. Yes. By using the option of “Auto Save” with the wizard, the file will be
saved automatically when the operation finished.
Q3-4.
Can calibration of AD Converter be performed from C-LOGGER?
A3-4.
Sorry, it cannot be performed from C-LOGGER. Please use the calibration
utility that is installed with device driver together.
Input [CAIOCAL] in [Run...] of Start menu.
Q3-5. How should I do the connection when I want to start the acquirement by
trigger signal?
A3-5. Please refer to the figure of signal assignment of hardware specification.
Connect trigger signal to AI External Start Trigger Input and Digital Ground.
Q3-6. Can external clock be used?
A3-6. Sorry, only internal clock can be used.
Q3-7. Is it possible to stop the acquirement by external trigger?
A3-7. Sorry, it is not supported to stop the acquirement by external trigger.
Q3-8. Can plural devices be used?
- 82 -
C-LOGGER Manual
7. Appendix
A3-8. Sorry, it is not supported to use plural devices by C-LOGGER.

Troubleshooting
Q4-1.
At the starting of C-LOGGER, a message is shown that the device driver is
an earlier version.
A4-1.
Please update the device driver to the latest version.(-> 2-1)
Q4-2.
An error occurred when the sampling clock is specified to high speed.
A4-2.
The device driver cannot process in time. Please slow down the sampling
clock.
Q4-3.
In Select Device dialogue, the device that must have been installed is not
shown.
A4-3.
It is a possibility that the device name is not specified. Please confirm the
settings of 2-2 again.

Others
Q5-1. Will it not work when the operation environment is not mentioned in the
specification?
A5-1. Yes, it can work. There is no problem in the operation for that the
specification mentioned here is to use it conveniently.
Q5-2.
Can C-LOGGER work with devices that are not supported?
A5-2.
It is a possibility that C-LOGGER works with the devices supported by APIAIO(WDM). But we have no responsibility about all the phenomena to
generate on devices which are not supported.
Q5-3.
Can C-LOGGER work in Windows 98 or Windows Me?
A5-3.
It is a possibility that C-LOGGER works. But we have no responsibility
about all the phenomena to generate on OS which are not supported.
Q5-4.
Can I get the source code of C-LOGGER?
A5-4.
Sorry, the source code of C-LOGGER is not open to the public.
