6 How to
The following sections describe in detail how to perform certain tasks using
LogWare.
6.1 Setting up and starting a real-time log session
The main purpose of LogWare is to perform real-time data acquisition. In order
to do this, LogWa re must be configured to acquire data on the channels of the
thermometer readout to be used. LogWare needs to know what data to acquire,
when to acquire it and when to stop.
To configure a real-time log session:
1. Select the New option in the File menu.
2. This will clear any current log session settings and display the Log Ses
-
sion Settings dialog.
3. Configure the Thermometer, Log Session and Channels settings accord-
ing to the needs of this session.
4. Once configured, either click the Start button on the Log Session Set-
tings dialog or click the Close button, then select the Start option in the
Datalog menu or click the button on the toolbar. This will start
the real-time log session and the Log Session window is displayed.
5. If a delayed start time was selected, the real-time log session will begin
at the selected time. Otherwise, the log session will start immediately.
Please refer to Section 2, Real-Time Logging, for more information.
6.2 Starting a real-time log session unattended
(delayed start)
The main purpose of LogWare is to perform real-time data acquisition. Many
times, the technician is present when a log session starts. However, sometimes
it is necessary or desirable to start a real-time log session at off hours when the
technician is out.
By default, a real-time log session starts immediately when the Start button on
the Log Session Settings dialog is clicked or when the Start option in the
Datalog menu is selected. However, LogWare has a feature called the Delayed
Start which allows a real-time log session to start at a predefined date and time.
To set the delayed start date and time:
1. Select the Setup option in the Datalog menu.
2. The Log Session Settings dialog is displayed.
