7.3 Logging
The DVLD and Davicom units can also be used to log lightning storm activity in the vicinity of
your site. The data can be transferred at periodic intervals and compiled in Excel to produce a
chart of storm activity and proximity to the site. The figure below shows the DVLD range data of
a real thunderstorm that passed right over our offices in the evening on June 18
th
2015.
To achieve this functionality, the custom-log and data logging features must be used.
