Logging to file
When connected to an Inertia device, the incoming data can be stored/recorded in a log file.
The default file format is
itlog
(Inertia Log File). Incoming samples, node information and con-
figurations, etc, are stored in the file. An
itlog
file can be exported to CSV or MAT format
(see Section 4.6). The
itlog
format also supports filling in lost samples after an experiment is
finished, see Section 4.5.
There are two options that can be used to enable logging to file:
1. By using the
Record
button from the toolbar; to change the settings for creating a log
file, select the

the same
Logging Configuration
window for logging to file (see Figure 12).
