channels loaded into the data logging window when the window was closed.
While the data is being logged, the Logging time elapsed will show how long the data logging has been
running for. The logging time is limited by your hard disk space, but be aware that excessively large log
files may be slow to view or require large amounts of resources from your PC to process.
When the data log is terminated the following dialog box will appear.
Figure 138 - Datalog File Options
The comment field can be used to store a brief description of what type of data is logged. This field is
optional and can be left blank, but it is advisable to put some text in here.
The second field that appears is for a file name that the data logger will save the information in. The
default filename extension will be ‘.csv’. As an example, if you type “lap1” in the filename field, then a file
will be saved as “lap1.csv” in the directory in which Halwin was started. If you wish to choose which
directory to save the log files to, then press the “Save File As” button to open the following dialog.
Figure 139 - Datalog File Save Location
This dialog will be familiar to experienced users of the Windows operating system. Type the file name that
you wish to save your logged data to in the ‘File name’ field. You can choose which directory to save the
file to by clicking on the ‘Save in’ drop down menu. After selecting your file name, click on the ‘save’
button which will close that window.
Displaying The Data
To open the Haltech Data Viewer, click on the View logged data button on the Data Logging Options
window. Note that this only applicable for the data you have just logged.
