Spreadsheet Model
LogView’s interface uses a spreadsheet model of cells in rows and columns (see next figure):
• Each row is a different channel. Individually-controlled channels can be hardware-based or
calculated; channels can be identified with user-specified labels.
• Each column is a parameter related to the channel. Some parameters can be user-set (user label,
sample rate, etc.); others are read only (physical channel, readings from transducers, etc.).
Note: Generally, cells that are “grayed-out” rather than black are not subject to user input (e.g. physical
channel, channel type); however, grayed-out Sample Rates under the Storage tab can be changed
in the Acquisition Configuration Window.
