Note on Date/Time:
Date and Time recorded within the instrument are UTC values from
the GPS satellites. The time displayed in Log View-R is the local time format set in the
connected PC, converted from the UTC time recorded in the instrument. In Windows,
this time format choice is set through:
Windows/Control Panel/Regional Settings - Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the
international time standard. It is the current term for what was commonly referred to as
Greenwich Meridian Time (GMT). Zero (0) hours UTC is midnight in Greenwich England,
which lies on the zero longitudinal meridian. Universal time is based on a 24 hour clock;
therefore, afternoon hours such as 4 pm UTC are expressed as 16:00 UTC (sixteen
hours, zero minutes).
4.6.4.4 Saving an Individual Data Record
You may wish to save an individual record under its own unique file name and the Log View-R
software utility provides for this. After checking the appropriate ’Save’ box next to the individual
data record(s) you want to save, the [Save Selected Records to Disk] soft-button will become
active (not grayed out). Selecting this soft-button will initiate the save function and the individual
data record(s) selected will be saved with unique individual file names to a default location (the
same location the Log View-R resides). Since the file name used to store an individual data
record is derived from the date and time in that record, you may not change its name or location
when saving it. If saving more than one individual record at a time, each record selected will be
saved individually with its own unique file name. Once an individual file has been saved, the
word ’Saved’ will appear next to the Save box for that file and the Save box will be grayed out.
This default file naming convention prevents confusion caused by the possibility of multiple
locations of the same record or the same record existing in more than one location.
The file name for individual records is in the form:
XLmm_dd_hh_mm?.CSV
Where:
The first ’
mm
’ is the month, ’
dd
’ is the day, ’
hh
’ is the hour. The second ’
mm
’ is the minute. The ’
?
’
is a variable letter used to distinguish records with the same date and time. The first record at
any given date/time combination is assigned the letter ’
A
’. Further records with the same
month/day/hour/minute value are assigned the next sequential letters. When the minute value
changes, the sequence starts over for the new month/day/hour/minute combination.
The saved format of an individual data record file is:
Model number Line 1:
XL-2261
& firmware version (Vx.x)
Serial number Line 2:
nnnnnnnnn
(the instrument’s 9-digit serial number)
Date Line 3: mm/dd/yyyy (’
mm
’ is the month, ’
dd
’ is the day, ’
yyyy
’ is the year)
