INTRODUCTION
The In-Transit FlashLink Data Logger is a single use instrument designed with a
unique, patented communications feature via the PC’s parallel port, which
allows an extremely fast data download (typically 760 data points per second).
The 25-pin cable (included) connects FlashLink to your computer’s parallel
(printer) port. . (A Serial Port Adapter is available for computers that do not
have a parallel port) The PC time and date is used to track data history to the last
data point collected. The software will automatically tabulate and graph the
collected data.
•
You will need both the FlashLink Data Logger and In-Transit FlashLink
Software properly installed and configured for use. Refer to page
5“Software Installation” and follow the instructions to install the In-Transit
FlashLink Software onto your PC. The software can also be downloaded

SETUP
Minimum PC Requirements
IBM (or compatible) 486 with 4 megabytes of memory. The In-Transit
FlashLink Software runs on all versions of Windows (3.1, 95, 98, 2000, ME, XP
and NT). It will also run on Windows LAN servers if the “client computers” use
Windows 3.1, 95, or 98.
Some brands of laptop computers may not be compatible with the In-Transit
FlashLink Software. See page 36 of this manual for a list of compatible laptop
computer models or call DeltaTRAK Customer Service for the latest
information. . The optional Serial Port Adapter will make most computers
compatible.
Connecting to Your Computer
The recommended connection method is to use a standard 25-pin PC data cable,
serial or parallel, with male on one end and female on the other. Remove the
printer cable from the PC. Connect male end of the data cable to the back of the
computer. The female end can be connected to the printer or to the data logger
as needed.
The data logger can be connected directly to the PC’s parallel (printer) port on a
laptop or desktop computer, but mounting hardware on the PC may get in the
way of making a reliable connection.
IMPORTANT: Do not turn on your computer or reboot with a data logger
connected to your PC as it may cause loss of data.

Auto Backup
Data files are automatically saved when they are downloaded. The directory is
named Databack, and is automatically created in the program’s “Flash”
directory with your first download.
If the custom option “Always ask for backup file name” is checked (to check:
click “Customize” on the top menu bar), you may use whatever naming
convention you wish (Up to 8 characters). You will be prompted to name each
file as it is saved. Choosing Cancel at this point will still save the file, however,
it will be saved using the automatic naming convention described below.
If the custom option “Always ask for backup file name” is not checked, the data
files will be named automatically using the data logger’s serial number. A
numbered extension is added each time that particular data logger is
downloaded. Therefore, downloading data logger number 00000403 three times
will give you file names of 00000403, 00000403.001, and 00000403.002.
The software will give you another chance to save the data in case you have
changed computers, deleted files, etc. When the screen asks, “Data has been
already saved! Continue Auto Backup anyway?” you can click OK to save the
data again or Cancel to proceed without resaving.

that collects data at a 30 minute interval. It is active when in Manual Start
Waiting mode. It will record 80 days of data.
When the logger is manually started it reverts to the programmed conditions and
shadow data is erased from the memory.
