Downloading the Logged Data
A personal computer with an available RS232 or RS485 port is necessary to download the logged data. An RS485 to RS232 converter will be required if only an RS232 port is available on the personal computer. Any device used to capture the data must be capable of accepting continuous data at 19,200 baud to a total of approximately one megabyte. Contact CSTG for information on how to interface the fuel flow display and personal computer in order to download the data logged information. The data logged, which is stored inside of the display, is not cleared after a download and will be retained even if power is removed to the display.

Logging will be suspended automatically while the fuel flow display downloads data to the personal computer and then resumes when the download is complete.
