Logging Data to a File for Upload to PC
In addition to displaying the results visually on the screen, you may need to gather a larger amount
of data and analyze it in a more thorough fashion. 1919-R provides the ability to store the data and
review it with Newport’s PMManager application, Excel, or another application that better fits
your needs.
This section describes how to log laser measurement data to a file stored on an external storage
device for later upload to a PC.

Upon pressing

in the

attached, it will display an error message, “External storage device not available.”
If a Disk on Key is found, 1919-R will look for a directory called “Log Files” in the root directory
of the Disk on Key, and if not found, 1919-R will create it. 1919-R will then set “Log Files” as
the active directory. 1919-R will not allow browsing of any other directories on the Disk on
Key.
