recording session end after 1000 data points, or
have the session run continuously. After 1000 data
points have been collected in the continuous mode,
the oldest data point is shifted out on the left, and
the newest data point is added to the right. Data
will continue to be collected and displayed until
you click on the “Stop” button above the chart. If
you click the OK Button, the data logging sessions
will start, and “Recording Data” will flash in the
status bar. The “Start” button above the chart will
change to “Stop”, indicating that if you click it
again, the logging session will be terminated. You
can also start or stop a data recording session from
the File menu. Once data has been collected, you
can save it in a (*.csv) (comma separated values)
file and open it in Microsoft Excel for further
analysis. It is recommended that you “Save As” in
Excel as a Microsoft Excel Workbook (*.xls). If you
do not modify the (*.csv) version of the file, you
