Using Menus & Keyboard Shortcuts
There are multiple ways to initiate tasks in vLog - using
keyboard shortcuts, function keys, menu options, or toolbar
icons. The instructions in the vLog User’s Guide provide you
with the menu option and additional options are indicated
where applicable.

(Not shown - vLog VL) Shows the verification level—only appears if a
transfer password was used when creating the currently-displayed
logger file (see page 106 for more information).

The Graph file is displayed here.

Automatic: Lines showing maximum, minimum and average readings.

tion

mum values of data currently shown in the graph.
The color shown for each channel corresponds to the color of the
graph lines.

ware is idle, the message Press F1 for Help is displayed. You can
alternatively display or hide the status bar by selecting View | Status
