Data Logger

Q6.1: Are the older 3000 series Loggers Y2K compatible?

A: Yes, in that they do not keep track of the year and thus do not care about Y2K. These units only keep track of days of the year, which is a 000-999 digit counter that can be set to any value and will roll over to 000 at midnight the day it reaches 999.

Q6.2: I am using Model 50 and/or Model 5000 DOS software with Windows 95/98/NT, and I want to print my file over the network printer. It is not printing, why?

A: The Model 50 and Model 5000 software are DOS based programs, and thus they do not support network printers. In order to print, you need to have a local printer which is directly connected to your PC. New DataWorker LE software for Windows is now available.

Q6.3: How do I reset my DataWorker (Model 50/5000)?

A: On the DataWorker 5 (Model 50), hold the "5" down while turning pressing the "ON" key. For the DataWorker 10/40 (Model 5000), hold the "CLEAR" key down while turning the ON/OFF switch to ON. This will invoke the reset mode and the needed prompts will be displayed for your response.

Q6.4: How do I copy data from DataWorker software to other programs like Excel.

A: Click and drag over cells in Data view to select. Then use Ctrl+C to Copy, Ctrl+V to Paste into Excel.
