vPad-IV OPERATORS MANUAL
4.7.9 Save Data Log
A "data log" comprises all the individual measurements of time, volume, flow and/or pressure as acquired
over the course of the test. To save such details, check the
Save data log
checkbox of
Figure 42 before
pressing the
Save
button at the bottom of the menu.
A data log file is identified by the control number or ID of the device and, similar to a Test Record, the
filename will include a date-time stamp and will additionally specify the test type and channel number. The
data log file is in standard comma-separated variables or "CSV" format, which is compatible with most
spreadsheet programs. Data log files are stored in this folder on the tablet:
Datrend/vPad-IV/DataLogs
The data log recording function, controlled via the Save data log checkbox of
Figure 42
, is a 'sticky'
setting which retains its state between tests. Once enabled by the menu of Figure 42 , data log recording
may be optionally disabled later on via the More Settings menu of the app, under the Test Record settings
(see Section 4.8.7.4 on page 72).
When running an AutoSequence with data log recording enabled, you will be prompted to save a log file for
each step in which a test is performed. Options are provided to bypass saving of the CSV file or otherwise
disable data log recording altogether. For an AutoSequence, the
Save data log checkbox of
Figure 42
is
not shown since logs are optionally saved over the course of the sequence, as each test step is completed.
