Rapidox Data-Logging Software

9.1

Introduction

The Rapidox software includes a full data logging facility. Data can be saved to a

file automatically at regular intervals and the format is compatible with modern
spreadsheet programmes such as MS-Excel. A live-time graphing facility is also
included which has many powerful features. Note that the data logging facility
will only function if the analyser is in NORMAL run mode.

9.2

Auto-Logging Feature

A special feature of this software is an “Auto-Log” option which can be selected
from the tab labelled “Data-logging”. If this option is selected then the next time

the software is started the data-logger will begin automatically without any
instruction from the user:

Figure 20: Auto Logging Feature (enable or disable)
