Flowchart of a Simple Acquisition

Consider the flowchart of a simple data acquisition. Whether LogBook is attached or unattached, the
process is similar except for downloading and uploading. You begin the process in LogView by defining
the parameters for an acquisition.

Using an Attached LogBook

When using an attached LogBook, LogView communicates directly to the PC-Card in LogBook through
the communication interface (serial or parallel).

After LogView recognizes the attached LogBook, an acquisition setup file can be downloaded to LogBook.
After the acquisition, data can be uploaded from LogBook without handling the PC-Card.
Note that steps 1 through 4 are often done during the initial installation.
