Starting the sensor and logging to file

Click on the connection and

“Open

Port

”. The Status turns green

when the port is opened and

connected.

Figure 4-4: AADI Real-Time Collector start up menu

Click on the

“Control Panel…”

button in the lower right corner.

Select the interval duration and

click the

“Start Recorder”

button.

The shortest interval available

depends on the sensor

configuration. More cells give

longer ping processing time and a

higher minimum available

recording interval.

Data will start logging in the defined directory. If it is a txt-file, the easiest way to view it is in Excel.

Figure 4-6

gives an

example of obtained data file. The different parameters are organized in columns.
