DESCRIPTION

1.1 HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE

This manual contains information on the Carrier Transicold DataLINE Program and its interface with the
DataCORDER. DataLINE Software is used to retrieve data stored in the Micro-Link 2/2i Controller and
DataCORDER.
Data retrieval can be accomplished with one of the following devices:
1. Stand-alone Windows 95, 98, 2000 or NT (4.0 or higher) personal computer (PC) with appropriate cable and soft-
ware
2. Carrier DataReader hand held retriever (see Section 4)
The retrieved data can then be printed from a PC in various report formats. From the DataReader, it can be transferred
to a PC for storage on a floppy or hard disk.
The DataLINE software for a portable computer is supplied on a CD and on 3.5 inch floppy disks (refer to Table 1-1).
This software allows data extraction, display of the data, report generation, probe calibration, file management and
printing.

1.2 DATACORDER
The DataCORDER records and stores data. While this manual primarily addresses the interrogation of the
Micro-Link 2/2i DataCORDER (see Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2), interrogation can also be done on units with the
Micro-Link 1 DataCORDER using the DataReader. Additional information on the DataCORDER may be found in
the unit Operation and Service manuals.
