Plot Data and Control

AEM supplied layout files will come pre-loaded with several “Plot Control” windows. (Users can
always add, delete or edit them as desired.) These are special controls that allow real time data
logging and playback. To begin a PC log, go to the Log menu and select Start recording or hit
the “CTRL + L” hot key. Select Stop recording or hit the “CTRL + L” hot key again to stop
logging. A dialog will ask if you want to save the data or not. If you select “Yes,” you will be
prompted to save the current session file. A session file contains all the current configuration and
calibration data along with a log file. If you open that session file again, the file will be loaded and
all plot controls will be populated with the recorded data.
