Overview
The TR-57DCi is a Data Collector designed to collect recorded data from data loggers (T&D Thermo Recorders and Voltage Recorders).
It can be used to gather and check recorded data on the spot without having to manually gather the data loggers. Recording settings such as “ Recording Interval” and “Recording Start” can also be made directly from the TR-57DCi into the logger.
Compatible devices for use with the TR-57DCi include TR-5i Series (Infrared Communication Type), TR-5S/5 Series, RTR-500/5 Series, TR-7Ui/7U/7S Series, and VR-71 Data Loggers.
Communication Between TR-57DCi and Compatible Data Loggers
The communication method will depend upon the type of Data Logger.
Infrared Communication:
By placing the infrared port of TR-57DCi Data Collector and TR-7Ui Series, TR-5i Series Data Loggers face-to-face, it is possible to download recorded data via infrared communication.
* Infrared communication cannot be used to make recording settings or send the "Recording Start" command.
Optical Communication:
By using the optical communication interface of the TR-57DCi Data Collector, it is possible to collect recorded data from, make recording settings for, and start recording in TR-5i Series (Infrared Communication Type), TR-5S/5 Series, and RTR-5 Series Data Loggers.
Cable Communication:
By connecting the cables shown below to the serial communication cable jack on the Data Collector, it is possible to collect data from and make settings for TR-7Ui /7U/7S Series and VR-71 Data Loggers.
* There are some items for the VR-71 which cannot be set via cable communication, such as switching the unit for the unit's LCD display.
Connection between PC and TR-57DCi
The collected data can be easily downloaded from the TR-57DCi with a USB cable to a PC.
By using an optional RS-232C Serial Communication Cable (TR-07C), it is also possible to communicate with a PC via serial communication.
