Section 3 Using Data View with the Data Logging function

Data View includes a Data Logging feature which can be turned on and off using the Log On/Log Off buttons. The

advantage of using this feature is that, in the event of a power failure during a Run, the temporary hidden file is not
deleted and the Run data may be recovered.

With Log

selected, all data sent from the

System is automatically stored to the computer hard drive in a

temporary hidden tile. Data is stored even if the

Data View application is not active as a chart recorder.

Log Data may be saved as a discrete Log File using the

Save Log

command under the

File

menu. A

Log File may

opened using

Open Log

under the

File

menu. User-selected parts of a file may then be viewed,

and stored using

the

Save selected data

as command under the

File

menu. The selected data is then stored as a Data File and may be viewed

by clicking the

Open

button.

If the Log File is not saved by the user, then the temporary hidden file is deleted whenever the

Data View application

is exited. This prevents the hard drive of your computer from being filled with unnecessary data.

See the HELP feature for a more detailed description of Data Logging.
