LogBook/360 Quick Start Guide
Testing the Hardware
Before testing LogBook/360:
a) Verify the device has been properly installed.
b) Make sure the communication cable (serial or parallel) is firmly in place to the proper ports.
c) Verify the device is powered-on.
Testing the LogBook/360 device might cause the system to hang. If test results are not
displayed within 30 seconds, or if the system does not respond properly do the following:
Reboot the system.
Upon power-up, re-enter the LogBook Configuration.
Ensure the configuration settings are correct. Change the settings as applicable.
To begin the test, click the Test button. Test results should be displayed within a few seconds.
Test results indicate if the device is online (properly connected, powered on and ready to transfer the data)
or offline. If the device is online, Performance Test will display Download and Upload speed rates. These
rates represent the maximum speed at which downloading and uploading files can be performed. Actual
transfer time will depend on channel configuration and the size of the transfer.
Acquisition Configuration
An acquisition is configured using LogView on a PC and then stored as an acquisition setup file on a
PC-Card. The PC-Card may be in an attached LogBook/360 or in the PC to be later manually transferred to
an unattached LogBook/360. The system’s DBK cards are listed; the scan sequence is defined; the trigger
conditions are specified, etc.
Reference Note:
Configuring the acquisition is described in the LogView section of the user’s manual PDF.
