Creating log files
You can set up your project to create new log files:
periodically
at specified times
when a particular event occurs
never
In each 24–hour period, up to 26 new files can be created. If you
attempt to create a 27th file, RSView32 continues logging data to the
26th file. At midnight, the sequence starts again with the first new file
for the new day.
Log files are saved in the directory you specified in the Setup tab.
