NOTE: If RS-232 communication is not working properly, make sure the correct
communications port is selected.

established, comm settings will turn grey and Comm Disabled will read

6.3.3 Data Storage
Composer Elite Multi-Sensor Software can log data while the data is being
displayed. Select the drive and directory, and enter a filename. The complete path
is displayed on the right side of the main screen as shown in Figure 6-5.
When a file path and name are entered into the Data Store File field, the current
date and time are automatically appended to the end of the user filename.
Selecting Save Data creates the new datalog file in the specified location and
begins the logging of data. Datalogging will continue until Save Data is cleared.
The datalog file type is .csv.
NOTE: Copy the datalog file to an alternate location before opening it. Opening the
datalog file while datalogging is in progress could corrupt the data and
cause confusion in the analysis.
