Logging and Charting
21
The
CALCOMMS
software is capable of logging readings from
up to 32 instruments which it stores in data files. The data
can be exported into text files which will enable the data to
be displayed in c.s.v. format, as columns of readings against
dates and times, for each of the 32 instruments. In addition,
the readings of up to 12 of the instruments can be
presented graphically and in colour, by the chart recorder
facility.
As in other sections of the manual, it is assumed that a
mouse or pointing device is being used. Where only a
keyboard is available, the standard
Windows
key
conventions can be used to operate the program.
