DeLogger also allows you to present data as a moving
analog needle on a meter panel. (And if you upgrade
to DeLogger Pro, you’ll have access to other meter
types, as well as buttons that perform actions.)
In this chapter
• you’re introduced to DeLogger’s mimic (meter)
• you create a meter and use it to display data —
• you play a replay file to a meter — page 51
• you add a graphic to a meter panel — page 52
•
you practise disconnecting from the DT800 — page 53.

A DeLogger
mimic
represent data as a panel containing one or more
needle (arc) meters on your computer screen.
You can have as many mimic windows open as you
need (limited only by computer memory and speed).
To add a mimic window, choose
New
on the File
menu, then click the
Mimic
button.
Edit Mode On/Off
The mimic window has two distinct modes:
• Edit Mode — for creating, moving and resizing
mimics, and for assigning channels (
Edit Mode
on
the Mimic menu is ticked)
• Run Mode — for displaying incoming data (
Edit
Mode
on the Mimic menu is un-ticked)
Meters Not Updating?
If your meters are not updating in the mimic window,
check that
•
Edit Mode
on the Mimic menu is un-ticked (that is,
the mimic window is in Run Mode)
•
Pause
on the Mimic menu is un-ticked
• for real-time channels: DeLogger is connected to the
DT800, and the DT800 is running the program that
contains the channels you’ve assigned for display
by the meters
• for replay channels: the replay control panel is open
and showing the correct replay file’s name in its title bar.
The Mimic Menu
When a mimic window is DeLogger’s front-most
window, the seventh menu on DeLogger’s menu bar is
Mimic
(see Figure 20 on page 27). Commands on this
menu are specific to the chart window, and some are
duplicated by buttons on the mimic window’s toolbar
(see Figure 49).
