CONFIGURATION
The Configuration module is for managing all of your data logger setups.
Setup files contain a Channel Logging Table, Outing Information, Channel Data and Channel Calibrations, for
up to 10 different cars.
A variety of tools are provided for setting up your data logger. The setup screens have been designed to list
the various logger functions into related groups for ease of use. The Logging Table organizes the selected
channels for logging, sample rates and logger start stop conditions. The Register LCU function organizes
setup files and logged data download paths for specific LCU's by serial number. This allows the computer to
distinguishes which LCU is connected, apply the appropriate Setup and Calibration files and determines the
location for the Downloaded Data Files.
The Channel Calibration Window simplifies creating and editing sensor calibrations. A QwikData 2 Sensor
Calibration Library is provided in the Calibration Editor Window containing Calibrations for all QwikData 2
sensors. Just choose a sensor by part number and apply the calibration to the selected channel using the
Import Calibration function.
