Once you are on the Data Logging screen, prepare your log file with the following steps:
1) Configure the date and time This step is important to ensure the timestamps in your file are correct. Vista Touch meters do not have an internal battery to determine the date and time, so your timestamps will be based on what you select here. If you do not select a date and time at this step, your log file will output blanks instead of a timestamp: ----/--/--/-- --:--:-- |
|
2) Choose your log speed The log speed will dictate the interval at which rows are written to your CSV file. You can select a value between 10 - 60 seconds. |
|
3) Start and enter a log file name Press start and enter a file name. Make sure there are no special characters or spaces in the file name. Whenever the file size limit is reached, data logging will continue on a new file with the same name and a numerical code. |
|
You can verify that data logging is in progress in three ways:
|
|
|
| File name highlighted in green and "Data logging in progress" status on the Data Logging screen. | A green bar under the events bell on the main gauge screens. | A data logging event on the events list. |
To stop data logging or change any settings, use the red Stop button on the Data Logging screen.
