be a progress indicator to show the loading progress.
If error occurs, just click "Load Data" again.

graph to zoom in for detail.
The vertical dash line in the graph
will match the highlight row in the tabular. When clicking on another row in
the tablar, the vertical dash line will move to the corresponding position to
match the time.
1.
I have connected thermometer to computer serial port and turned
thermometer on, but it still shows "NO CONNECTION."
Answer: It could be caused
by that all serial port are occupied by other applications. Close all
application, restart your computer, and run SE318 again.
2.
In TABULAR window, I saved a file. Can I use EXCEL to open this
file?
Answer: If the decimal
seperator is comma (,) in your area, you can not use CSV file because CSV file
use comma to seperate data. This will cause confusion (for example
23,6,C,24.6,C). However, you can use TXT files instead. It uses tab to seperate
to data (for example: 23.6 C 24.6 C) and it can be
accepted in EXCEL.
