Write only recorded channels into File:
- The Data Logger was designed for recording 15 channels (at present a maximum of 7
channels are implemented). If this option is not selected, all 15 channels are written out,
whether they contain data or not. Due to this fixed assignment, a user macro or other program
can always access the desired measured values. If this option is checked off, only recorded
channels are written to the file.
Write User-Values into File:
- Specify whether user-defined values created with the Writer are written into the file. Each
value can also be given its own description. This description can in turn be used by a user
macro or program to read in the required values.
Write specified separators into File:
- Since number, date and time formats are country-specific, they have to be localized, which
can be done using this option. The user can choose the desired character from an existing
drop-down list, or specify another character. The mask used for the date and time formats can
be changed (e.g. from dd.mm.yyyy to yyyy.mm.dd). Short or long names can also be selected,
depending on the number of characters (mmm= short form of the month e.g. Sep., mmmm =
month written out fully e.g. September).
On clicking Convert the user is asked to change or confirm the default file name. The default file
name is based on the following pattern:
"(DeviceID+date+time+Index).txt" - date and time that the text data was created!
Upon clicking Save, the file is created.
