Record-R Data Logging Operation
4.1
Introduction
Data logging allows the user to record the current path loss reading, physical location and
data/time for later downloading to a PC, allowing for viewing, saving to disk and printing a
permanent record of the results of the link alignment. This chapter describes the operation of
the Record-R Data Logging function found in PathAlign-R model 2241.

Record-R Data Logging Information
The Record-R allows the results of antenna alignment, done with the Path Align-R, to be logged
into internal memory. The Record-R also contains an embedded GPS receiver, which provides
accurate UTC date/time and position information to be added to the above data. This logged
data is saved in non-volatile memory (it is not affected by turning the instrument off) for later
transfer (download) to a PC computer. Up to 250 separate data records can be saved in the
field.
