• FILE Save this log to the receiver’s CF card
• NO_PORTS No port specified
• THISPORT Current COM port
If the group is intended for use in a stand-alone mode of operation, choose FILE to save the logs to the
DL-V3’s internal CF card. You can save ASCII or binary format logs to the FILE destination.
Choose a log output format from the Format list, ASCII or binary.
The trigger and period settings can be edited by using the fields in the Trigger and Period sections of
the Logs tab .
A log’s trigger and period information is what determines when and how often the DL-V3 receiver
collects that log’s information. For example, if the trigger and period for the compressed range
measurements log (RANGECMP) is set to OnTime 2, the receiver logs compressed range
measurements every two seconds. For 2 Hz (twice per second), use an OnTime 0.5
trigger.
To edit trigger information for a particular log, first select a trigger from the Trigger drop down box.
The Period drop down box appears dim unless OnTime is selected as the trigger. In this case, you can
edit the number of seconds directly or choose a time period from the Period drop down box. Table 71
explains your choices.
Table 71: Log Triggers
Click on the Add button to add the log details to the group. Continue to add logs until your group
contains the logs you want. To remove a log from the group, select the log in the
Logs table, and click
on the Remove button.
To edit a log in a receiver group, select it, change the settings and click on the Add button again. The
log appears twice in the table. Select the log with the old settings and click on the Remove button.
Click the OK button to save your changes or the Cancel button to discard your changes. The logs you
have selected are displayed along with their descriptions, default destination and interval settings.

the receiver collects almanac information once and not again unless the almanac
information changes.
