continuous
sampling (default setting) or as continuous sampling
limited to a defined time interval. The
duration
of the time interval
can be adjusted in the duration display (
DUD
) shown as hour (HH):
minutes (MM): seconds (SS). The
Sample Interval (s)
for
continuous sampling can be defined in the field designed with
set.
Setting the sample interval to 0.25 will give the maximal possible
scan rate. The exact maximal rate depends on the settings and the
number of activated channels. The actual sample interval is shown
in the display
actual
and is displayed in red if the actual is not equal
the set sample interval.
The acquired data can be smoothed by a
Data Smoothing
(range1..10,
default
: 3, a value of 1 means no data smoothing). For
continuous
or
duration
measurements with a sample interval
<10 s, data smoothing is done by a simple running average (e.g.
with
Data Smoothing
=5 always the last 5 sampled data points are
averaged). However, for
single data point
measurements and for
continuous
or
duration
measurements with sample intervals
>10 s, the data smoothing is done by averaging repetitive
measurements (e.g. with
Data Smoothing
=3 for each data point 3
oxygen measurements are performed as fast as possible
sequentially, and the average of these 3 measurements is
displayed as the new data point).
IMPORTANT
: By default the displayed data are not automatically
saved to a file.
To activate data saving, click on the red

) of
Log to
File
. Select a file name in the appearing file dialog. The saved data
files are simple text-files with the file extension ".txt", which can be
easily imported into common spreadsheet programs.
Thereafter, the indicators
