LogView Features and Capabilities
In setting up an acquisition, LogView can:
• Configure parameters for all input, output, and calculated channels without using special
programming skills.
• Provide flexible triggering to acquire continuous data, capture exceptions or, to trigger based on
calculated channels.
• Configure and operate expansion chassis, including the DBK option cards and modules designed for
various signal-conditioning environments.
• Provide utilities (convert units, calibrate sensors, calculate channels, control outputs/alarms, etc).
In handling data, LogView can:
• Download an acquisition setup file to a PC-Card for physical transport to a remote LogBook, or send
the setup file directly to the PC-Card in a LogBook via the serial or parallel port.
• Upload the recorded data from LogBook by corresponding means.
• Create files for use by other Windows programs; e.g., database or analysis.
Utility-wise, LogView can:
• Calibrate all gains and offsets on a per-channel basis.
• Launch a separate “view” program that allows you to graphically view pre-recorded data.
• Interact with LogBook while the acquisition is taking place including manual trigger and event
marking.
In monitoring an acquisition, LogView can:
• Display readings and status in real-time. On-screen indicators provide channel feedback during an
acquisition. Channel values can be displayed in charts, bar graphs, analog meters, or digital readouts.
• Show system status including trigger status, errors, alarms, etc.
