3.5 Data Logger PC Software

The eZ430-Chronos data logger PC software allows reading out logged data from the Chronos module. It can also be used to set and calibrate the Chronos module, 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 as root user.
