B.3.4 Front Panel Operation
If the Model 931A is equipped with the extended memory option, the first
sign-on display will show “16 Mbyte Log Memory Card Installed.” “Auto-
Log Setup” has been added as a selection item on the main menu. Press
the MENU key and select “Auto-Log Setup” and the following display will
appear.
First, select a trigger condition. If Time Interval is selected set the
Start Log and Stop Log date and time. Next choose the Log Data category,
either Normal or Custom. The type of Normal data recorded will depend
on the active display at the time data is logged. Selecting Custom data
allows the user to define the parameters to be logged. After selecting
Custom the operator is led through a list of 32 data parameters. Use the up
and down arrow keys to select or deselect the parameter as each parameter
is displayed. Press the ENTER key to move to the next parameter and the
ESCAPE key to quit the selection process. Along with the name of each
data parameter is the number of bytes it requires each time it is logged.
Table B.1 contains a list of the available custom data parameters. Time is
shown as an optional parameter, however it is automatically stored with
each data record.
Select Enable or New File to begin logging the selected data. Each
time New Log is selected a new file will be created for the next set of data
records. Select Disable to stop data logging.
The first time data is stored in a new log data file the header is created.
An indication will appear on the display (e.g. Saved in #1) showing the
number of the new file created. As each subsequent record is logged a
message will appear showing the file number with the record number in
brackets (i.e. Saved in 1[3]).
Press SHIFT then REVIEW to recall logged data - illustrated in the
figure below.
