10 Collecting Data
Collecting Data
The datalogger writes to data tables according to the schedule set within the CRBasic program. After
the program has been running for enough time to generate data records, data may be collected and
reviewed via your datalogger support software. Collections may be done manually, or automatically
through scheduled collections set in LoggerNet Setup. Follow a
tutorial
or use the following instructions.
