Settings
The Settings window, allows the remote user to set the meter’s Flux
Units, Angle Units, Time Units, Temperature Units, and the Display

the data log rate. It is NOT the update rate for this application, the update rate of
this application is limited to twice per second and may vary based on network
speed and or available bandwidth. In either event this will not affect the meters
display or data log update rates.

captured, note that the rate at which the rows are captured is set by the
Update Rate setting.
Pressing <Stop> will terminate the open log session, save the file on the
