Datalogging
The Tracker can log data to its internal memory, either automatically or manually.
To log Manually, from the home screen or secondary data screen, hold the
Enter
button for 2 seconds.
The
Log indicator
in the banner will briefly read
Captured
indicating the data point was successfully
saved to the data log.
To log automatically, the user sets a log interval, and data is atomically logged based upon that interval.
While auto logging is active, manual data points can also still be captured using the method above.
The LOGGER Main menu has the following options.
