LOG MODE
The third selection on the Main menu allows you to select which data
logging mode to use and then to initiate a data logging session. To make
changes to the LOG MODE, simply scroll Up/Down to the LOG
MODE 1 selection and then adjust the mode using the Left/Right
arrows. You may select LOG MODE 1, 2, or 3 (please see the section
on “
Log Mode 2 and 3 ,” later in this chapter, for more information
about these programmable log modes).
The logging interval for LOG MODE 1 must be adjusted, from the
Setup menu, before beginning the logging session. To begin a data
logging session, select the LOG MODE and press “
↵
”. The P-T
RAK
®
particle counter will begin recording logged data into the instrument
memory. If LOG MODE 1 was selected, the following screen will be
displayed:

If LOG MODE 2 or 3 was selected, the P-T
RAK
®
particle counter may
or may not begin logging immediately, depending upon the setup
parameters. See “
Log Mode 2 and 3 ,” in this chapter, for more
information.
Log Mode 2 and 3
The P-T
RAK
® particle counter may be programmed for more sophisticated
data logging modes, using T
RAK
P
RO
™
software and Log Modes 2 and 3.
With Log Modes 2 and 3, you can set the start date, start time, test length,
logging interval, number of tests, and the time delay between tests. You
program the logging protocols into the P-T
RAK
® particle counter using the
power and simplicity of T
RAK
P
RO
™
software. The instrument is then taken
to the field, where you simply select Log Mode 2 or Log Mode 3, and begin
data logging.
