Functionality and description
Start button
Starts data logging
Stop button
Stops data logging
Stop criteria slide
User can

elapsed” for stopping a measurement series
Samples box
Used for defining number of samples when logging a finite number of
samples
Average
Used for downsampling of data. Average value of selected number of
values is logged to file
Time elapsed
Shows the time elapsed since start of test
Samples acquired
Shows number of samples acquired
CRC_errors
Shows number of CRC errors (normally 0, otherwise the user should
consider to reject results data in any analysis)
Resynch’s
Increments from 0 to a number if any re-synchronisations are needed
in order to re-establish data collections from module
Table 9: Logging panel descriptions
Log to file capability:
Quad core processor is recommended when measuring on two gyro modules simultaneously
The size of the log file is only limited by the available space on the storage media in use
The path for result file storage is defined in the active parameter file
The program should be run with administrator rights to ensure the creation and storage of the result file
