The Log tab contains the following options:

Option Name

Description

Store to disk every X
acquisitions

Specifies the number of scans stored in RAM before the data is
saved to a log file. Smaller numbers cause saves that are more
frequent. Larger numbers cause saves that are less frequent, but
increase application performance by reducing save time.

Filename and Path

Specifies the log file name for the timed data acquisition. Click on
the folder icon to browse to a specific folder.

Note: The Insert Event in Log File option enables you to enter text
in the log file. Select Spectrometer | Insert Event in Log File
from the menu bar. A dialog box will prompt you to enter text,
which will be displayed in the log file next to the data that was
acquired at the time of text entry.

Display Functions

and analyze data.

Scan Control

Scan function to take one scan. The Cont. (continuous) mode option instructs the Scan function to take
