LogBook Monitor
(has no toolbar
icon; it is selected
from Device Menu
only) When selected from LogView’s Device pull-down menu, the LogBook Monitor provides a system status
report on the current acquisition (if in progress). The acquisition status is only updated every 1 or 2
seconds. Note that the status for scans at faster rates may not be updated before the scan is finished.
Most of the monitor’s information is self-explanatory. Items that may not be obvious, or which may need
additional explanation are discussed below.

(1) Event Mark - Whenever you click the button during an acquisition, LogView notes the
exact time to time-correlate the marked instant with data collected then. This function is like marking
a strip chart to draw attention to a particular time frame. These marks can be seen later while
reviewing the data in an independent view application.
The button will only be enabled when the Acquisition Configuration window’s “Enable
Event Mark” function is selected (see following figure). The event-marking feature is also accessible
via LBK1.

(2) Clock – Shows the current time, according to LogBook’s clock.
(3) Max Swap Time (Maximum Disk Swap Time) – is the estimated amount of time available for
removing and replacing LogBook’s PCMCIA card without interruption to LogBook’s active
acquisition.
(4) Error - The Error box contains an error number and brief description of the error, should an error
exist. Error codes are provided near the end of this manual. Not all errors are detrimental to the
acquisition.
(5) Reset Clock – Resets LogBook’s clock to value of the host PC’s clock.
