DATA LOG SETUP 

Automatic logging of test data results is supported by the DLTM4.  The Data Log Setup display in Figure 16 permits the 
user to configure this automatic feature.

Figure 16:  Data Log Setup Display 

The current date and time can be entered by the user if needed. There are five measurements that are displayed on the Data 
Log Setup in the Measurement 1-5 fields are reported following the date and time. These fields can be any of the fields 
from the Status Display (in Table 3). 

Data Log records are transmitted through the remote programming port

Log Type 

This field is set by the user to select the data logging mode.  Three selections are offered: None, 
Interval and On Change.  Selecting None disables the Data Log process.  The Interval mode 
causes a report to be generated at the expiration of the number of seconds specified in the LOG 
TIME  field.    Selecting  the  On  Change  mode  causes  a  report  to  be  generated  each  time  a 
measurement changes from its previous value.  The On Change mode should not be used if 
measurements are expected to change at a rapid rate.   

Date 

Operator entry field for the current date in mm/dd/yy format 

Time 

Operator entry field for the current time in hh/mm/ss format 

Interval 

Interval in seconds between data log records if the DATA LOG field is set to Interval 

Measurement

n

 

This field allows selection of any measurement from the Status display for logging
