morechemistry.com generic datalogger

The datalogger is a single channel datalogger which demonstrates the driver functionality for any of the following devices:

  • Endress-Hauser Minilog-B datalogger
  • Haake DC-50
  • Sartorius CP324S scale

The datalogger starts measuring immediately once run.

Measurement

By default the measurement page displays a graph of the last 300 points. The timespan depends on the sample frequency.

Settings

The settings page displays the setting for the serial port:

  • ComPort [COM1..COM4]
  • Baudrate [1200..19200]
  • Databits [5..8]
  • Stopbits [1..2]
  • Parity [none,odd,even,mark,space]
  • BufferSize [1..128]

Changing these setting is effective only after stopping and restarting the datalogger.
