Data Logger PC Software

3.4.1 Detailed Feature Overview
As all available modes remain the same in the Data Logger software, only the additions are described in
this section.
3.4.1.1 Data Logger Mode
The data logger mode can be selected by pushing the "*" button until the bottom LCD line shows "dLog". It
may be enabled/disabled by pushing the "DOWN" button. If the heart rate data logging is selected (see
Section 3.5 ) in data logger PC software, the heart rate monitor is automatically enabled (the RF icon
flashes until linked to a heart rate monitor). When active, the record icon on the LCD is on (see Figure 1-
1).
NOTE: Connect the USB RF access point to the PC before launching the Control Center software.
For first time use, you may also have to wait until Windows has finished the access point
driver installation.
In case of problems on Windows PCs, please check if the settings for the RF access point
are correct in the Windows Device Manager Start > Control Panel > System > Hardware >
Device Manager. The RF access point is listed under Ports (COM & LPT) as TI CC1111
Low-Power RF to USB CDC Serial Port. The port settings should be:
• Baud Rate: 115200
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: None
In case of problems on Linux PCs, ensure that the correct tty setting is specified. Check /dev
for the new tty device after plugging in the RF access point. If you see that the RF access
point gets assigned to a different device other than ttyACM0, either remove the serial device
that occupies this slot (for example, a modem), or change the script file variable "com" in
eZ430-Chronos_Datalogger_1_2.tcl located in /home/<user name>/Texas
Instruments/eZ430-Chronos/Control Center/eZ430-Chronos Data Logger.
To launch the Control Center software, shortcuts are available in the Start Menu under Programs >
Texas Instruments > eZ430-Chronos > eZ430-Chronos Data Logger.
3.5 Data Logger PC Software
The eZ430-Chronos data logger PC software allows reading out logged data from the watch. It can also
be used to set and calibrate the watch, as its set modes were removed to free up as much memory as
possible for data logging. Available features:
• Time, date and calibration data synchronization tool
• Read out of logged data
• Wireless firmware update
To launch the eZ430-Chronos Data Logger software on a Windows PC, shortcuts are available on the
Desktop and in the Start Menu under Programs > Texas Instruments > eZ430-Chronos > eZ430-Chronos
Data Logger.
To launch the eZ430-Chronos Data Logger software on a Linux PC, browse to /home/<user name>/Texas
Instruments/eZ430-Chronos/Control Center/eZ430-Chronos Data Logger and run eZ430-
Chronos_Datalogger_1_2.tcl.
