3.2.8.1. Connecting the JR-1000 Series
My computer does not have a com port.
Check the back of your computer for another type of connector.
In some cases, your computer will not be equipped with a 9 pin communications port. Alternatively, it will have either a 25-
pin connector or a USB interface. In both cases adapters will be necessary to operate your data logger. To learn more
about the required adapter for your computer, contact ACR Technical Support.
Do you have a free com port available to read the JR. data logger?
Your modem, mouse and other devices like these use communications ports, just like the JR. data logger. Sometimes
(especially in laptops) the resources for a free com port are quite limited. In cases like this, alternatives include, having
your other devices operate under alternative com ports (ie 25 pin or USB terminals) or purchasing a adapter that can
convert the available port to a 9-pin configuration.
Alternatively, it is also possible to temporarily disable the conflicting device while operating the JR. with TrendReader
Express.
I've done all of the above and I still can't communicate with my data logger.
Please contact Technical Support. They will help you with advanced troubleshooting and diagnosis of your equipment.
3.2.8.2. Analyzing Logged Data
The following functions will assist in analyzing data.
Zoom/Unzoom
To zoom into a window on a graph, a region needs to be selected. To select, Left-click on first point, hold button, then
drag cursor to next point. To unzoom, select Edit, Unzoom Last or Unzoom All on Menu Bar. TrendReader Express
performs x-axis (horizontal) zooming only and autoscales y-axis (vertical).
Autoscale
Autoscale provides best graph capture on y-axis (vertical). On Menu Bar, click Communicate, click Autoscale. To de-
activate, simply de-select.
Viewing Other Files
Previously saved files can be viewed by clicking Open File icon. Click the file desired, then click OK.
