5.3 - Indicators

The Zen Datalogger has 3 LED indicators which provide 
information on the status of the data log.

INTERNAL / SD CARD

These LED's indicate which memory location is cur-
rently being used to store logged data:

 

If the '

SD CARD

', LED is lit, then data is being 

saved to the Micro SD card.

 

If the '

INTERNAL

' LED is lit, the data is being 

saved to the onboard memory.

Fig 6

 

PRESS BEFORE REMOVING SD

This button must be pressed BEFORE removing the Micro SD card. (Please see 5.5 for 
more information on safely removing the Micro SD card.)

SAFE

If this LED is lit, then it is safe to remove your SD card from the Zen's Micro SD slot.

5.4 - Using the Data Viewer

Define WorkBench "

Data Viewer

" enables you to view your logged data and visualize it in the 

form of a Multi-Channel Graph (Fig 7), Tiled Graphs (Fig 8), a Distribution Graph (Fig 9), or as 
Tabulated Data (Fig 10).
A variety of settings enable you to specify the range of viewable data, and configure your 
graph axes and labels. You can also export logged data to CSV format for further processing 
using Excel.
