8 Data Logging
The MCT data logging features are accessed via the home
“Data” menu item. The system data logging provides
the ability to select individual points for logging, view data log files and start/stop logging operations. The
logging ability of MCT provides an easy-to-use, convenient method to obtain electronic data without the need
for additional data acquisition equipment.
The Data Log menu provides navigation to the following functions:
