Setting Up a Log
The Tube logs data from instrument directly to the internal SD card. How and when the data is recorded is configured using the
Tube set up tool.
If you require data redundancy, program a log on your instrument prior to connecting it to the Tube. Some instruments do not
support logs.
Refer to your instrument manual for instructions on setting up a log.
