Example Configuration Files
2.7.1 Example A
The following configuration records data at 100 hertz. Deadband and deadbandtimeout are set to zero
so the logger will record constantly at the set sample rate. Each data file is 90,000 lines long, which is
15 minutes of data. The status indicators are set to high brightness. The logger is activated with the
on/off button (notice “rebootondisconnect” is not active).
2.7.2 Example B
The deadband and dwell settings configure the device to record at least 5 seconds of data when a
change greater than 0.1g is detected. The deadbandtimeout setting forces a sample write every hour.

A wakeUpTime event is triggered upon the first time the logger is turned on, regardless of
the clock time. After this event completes, the logger will record data at the times specified
by the wakeUpTime option.
