6 LogWorks
Before your first recording, it is advisable to first setup and configure your
MTS chain in LogWorks. Connecting the MTS chain to LogWorks will allow
the software to identity which devices are in the MTS chain. Once LogWorks
is configured, data from the memory card will correctly represented as it was
configured.
6.1
MTS channel setup
1.
The PL-1 does not have a MTS out, necessary to connect the MTS chain
to a computer, so it must first be removed from the MTS chain. Connect
the second to-last device in the MTS chain to the computer (the device
that was previously connected to the PL-1.)
2.
Launch LogWorks and power up all the devices in the MTS chain.
3.
In the LogWorks software, click File/Connect. A “Serial Connection”
dialog box will appear and allow you to select the right COM port. Click
Connect.
4.
LogWorks will now identify the products connected to the MTS chain.
5.
Configure your individual inputs to match each device’s function. Refer to
the LogWorks manual for more details.
6.
Once the inputs have been configured you may optionally save your
input description by going to File/Save Input Description.
7.
You can now import your log file.
6.2
Import Log File
1.
Remove the memory card from the PL-1’s SD memory card slot.
2.
Connect the SD card reader to a USB port on your Windows machine.
3.
Insert the memory card into the SD card reader.
4.
Windows will usually pop up a windows with the contents of the memory
card, if this does not happen you can go directly to the drive under “My
Computer.”
5.
In the memory card you will find a file named “Log.d32”. Double-click on
this file and LogWorks will automatically open it.
Please note that the single log file can contain multiple
sessions.
Every time
a record session is triggered a new session is amended to the log file.
