Stopping a Log
A log can be manually stopped at any time, even if a stop time has been previously scheduled. If you did not specify a stop
condition when you defined the log, the log will run until the instrument is out of memory or battery power, or until you
manually stop it.
A log that has been stopped cannot be resumed. If you intend to resume a log later, you
should
suspend a log
rather than stop it.
1. To manually stop a log, the instrument must be connected to the software.
2. Select the Logging tab .
3. Select the running log you intend to stop.
4. Click the
Stop Log button .
