Figure 3-6 The Capture Events menu
Like the
Export
menu discussed in Chapter 2, the
Capture Events
menu has a field
for each of the four StreamSmart 400 channels. Each of these fields is preceded
by a checkbox to activate/deactivate the channel, and followed by a choose box
to select the Statistics Aplet column for storing the data from that channel. There is
also an
EVENT METHOD
field that controls what happens each time you press
%ADD$
. Here you can choose whether to simply collect the data from the sensors,
auto-number each reading, or add a numeric entry to each reading. If you choose
to add a numeric entry to each reading, this menu also has a fifth field,
ENTRY
,
that determines the column where these numeric entries are stored.
Table 3-3 lists the menu keys in the
Capture Events
menu and their functions.
For example, in Figure 3-7 below, Channels 1 and 2 are active, but Channels 3
and 4 are not. The data from Channel 1 will be stored in
C1
and the data from
Channel 2 will be stored in
C2
. Because the
EVENT METHOD
field setting is
WITH ENTRY
, each reading will prompt for a numeric entry, which will be stored
in column
C3
.
