is best to copy large measurement sets to the HOST computer and select them there. The file 
access to the miniPAR Logger 

is slow. The miniPAR Logger’s measurement folders must NOT 

contain any files besides those the miniPAR Logger recorded and the CAT.txt file. 

Click “Plot” to begin plotting. 

The program reads all the miniPAR Logger’s data files in the selected folder. It concatenates these 
and presents the plot shown below. 

You may zoom this plot by drawing a square from upper left to lower right (click and hold left mouse 
button) that defines the zoom region. To zoom completely out, attempt to draw a square from lower 
right to upper left. Right click on the plot for options such as copy and print. The plot can be scrolled 
with the mouse while the Control key is held depressed. Copies of the plot can be obtained by right 
clicking on the plot and selecting Copy from the pop-up menu. 

Different DATA Folders can be selected during one session of the program. In this case, the 
software produces multiple plots. Unfortunately, the plots are presented exactly on top of one other 
so when a new plot appears it is not obvious that the old plot is still there. It is. Just move the new 
plot to see previous plots.  

The program can be re-run at any time. If an already processed DATA Folder is selected, then the 
program simply reads the miniPAR Logger’s measurement files again.  

End the miniPARPlot program by closing the window.  

Special note: plotting of sample sets of more than 200K samples may consume all the memory 
available to the JRE. The miniPARPlot program will present a partial plot and freeze in this case. A 
simple solution is to separate the files into multiple folders and plot each folder individually. A special 
miniPARPlot that sub-samples can be provided by PME. Please contact PME in this case.
