5.8 Starting and Stopping the Datalogger
Starting the Solinst Datalogger
There are two ways to start logging:
Start Now
or by programming a
Future Start
time.
To start logging immediately
, do not click the Future Start box and click,
. It should say Start Now below
the icon to indicate an immediate start.
Before starting a Levelogger 5 Series datalogger, a pop-up window will indicate how much memory is available.
Selecting “Yes” ignores the message and starts the datalogger immediately
with the remaining available
memory. Selecting “No” gives you the chance to access the Data Control tab to download and/or delete data
files using the “Download Files” option, to free-up memory (see Section 7).
Note: When using an Edge or Gold Series datalogger, remember to download any data on the datalogger
before starting a new session. When starting a new logging session, any data from previous recording sessions
will be erased.
After selecting “Yes” any changed settings will automatically be applied to the datalogger, and it will start
logging. Datalogger Status will change from Stopped to Started.
Note:
If a setting has been changed, it will be highlighted in yellow as a reminder before the datalogger is started. If
a setting has been entered incorrectly, it will be highlighted in red. Changed settings are applied to the datalogger
automatically when the Start icon is selected.
After the datalogger is started, and begins collecting readings, the Start icon will be greyed out, and only the
Stop icon and Future Stop settings will be active.
Check
Future Start
'At' to set logging to start at a later date and/or time. This Start mode is referred to as
Future Start in the Status field. Click
to apply the Future Start time and any changes to the datalogger
settings.
When the Future Start time is reached, the datalogger will start logging and the Status will change from Future
Start to Started.
