CHAPTer 7 o DATA COLLECTION

Note

If intervals expire during (or immediately after) your download, you will

be prompted to download the new intervals before you erase. If you are

presented with the option to download and erase, it is recommended that

you do so in order to prevent losing data.

Data Logs

Going to File>Data Logs . . . allows you to create new data logs, open existing

ones, and export logs into 3 Card format.

Selecting New and then the type of log—Download, Interval or Event—opens a

directory box where you can create a new log. This le will then be used to log

data. If you created an event log, going to View>Trac (Event) Data and turning

logging on will ll the log. If you created an interval log, going to View>Interval

Data and turning logging on will ll the log. If you created a download log,

going to Data Collection>Download and downloading data will ll the log.

Note

If you haven’t created a log le when you go to start logging, the program

will prompt you to create one then.

Selecting Open and then the type of log will open the most recently used log in

a text editor such as Notebook.

You can also open event and interval logs by going to View>Trac (Event)

Data or View>Interval Data and clicking the View Log buon; you can
