7. DATA LOGGER:
Thickness readings can be saved for later review and presentation using the data logger features
of the TG-110DL. Data logs are displayed either in a spreadsheet type view or a linear list on the screen. The user
has available of total of 50,000 data points, where each saved thickness in a data log is one data point. Each data
log file can be named with up to 32 alphanumeric characters. Pressing the LOG button on the keypad enters the
data logger mode. If no data log files currently exist in the data logger, the screen will display NEW only. If there is
at least one other data log file, then the screen will display the number of stored data log files at the top of the
screen, and NEW, REVIEW or ERASE ALL as menu options.

and
“

”
.
Log Type:
Select the Log Type by using the RIGHT and LEFT arrow keys. The two
options are “Linear” and “Grid”.
The data
log type “
Linear
”
will define a
horizontal list with the user specified number of entries. When selecting the
“Grid”
mode, a spreadsheet type of data log will be defined by numbered rows &
columns. The user will be prompted to set the number of rows and columns for
the data log.
Edit Name:
When Edit Name is selected from the NEW LOG FILE menu the user is
presented with an alphanumeric screen and a flashing cursor. The data log file is
named by moving this cursor through the alphanumeric field and pressing ENTER
on each desired character. If no name is defined, the TG110DL will assign the next
available numeric value by default. Press the menu button when finished naming
the data log to return to the NEW LOG FILE menu.

This menu prompts the user for the either the number of Points if the LINEAR data log type was selected,
or the number of Rows and Columns if the GRID data log type was selected. Select CREATE when finished defining
data log dimensions. A progress bar will appear while the data log is being built, the larger the data log, the more
time required to create it. Once the data log is built, the user is presented with either a linear row of four input
boxes (cells), or a spreadsheet view of four columns and three rows. Above the boxes (cells) is an indication of the
current row and column. A flashing cursor occupies the current cell. To navigate to the cells not displayed on the
screen, use the arrow buttons to move the cursor to the edges of the screen and press the arrow button once
more. The display will shift and display the next cell in the series. By default, the cursor will start in row one and
column one.
