Save data to file from measure panel: 
An example of a result file is shown in Figure 25, for a standard datagram measurement series of device # 1. A 
description of each of its column of data is found in Table 4.

Stop criteria slide 

User selections between “manually”, “no of samples” and “Time 
elapsed” for stopping a measurement series 

Samples box 

In use when defining a series length 

with “no of samples” 

Time elapsed 

Shows the real time for the test running 

Samples acq. 

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 

 
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 free memory of the hard disk(s) in use 

 

The path for result file storage is defined in the active parameter file 

 

The program should be run as administrator to ensure the necessary rights to establish result files
