Operating Procedures
The following paragraphs describe the procedures for recording data using the Record-R
function on the PathAlign-R and downloading and saving logged data using the LogView-R Data
Log Utility software and a PC computer.
4.6.1 Recording Data

not affected by turning the instrument off. The information stored includes the instrument’s
model number, serial number, date and time, location (latitude and longitude), frequency in use
and the measured path loss. The LogView-R utility allows you to access this, save all of the
data records to a disk file and save individual data records to separate disk files. The data files
generated are in a format suitable for importing into a spreadsheet program (.CSV).
