Instrument Channel Ordering:

This defaults to Auto Order, however, you can un-tick the

checkbox and click on the Set Order button to manually set the logging order of the channels:

Click on the channel to select it, and then click on the up/down buttons on the left to nudge it

up/down the list.

6.1.4 Events

Events allow the logger to act on changes on its inputs. Various actions include triggered logging,

SMS alerts and relay control. A maximum of 32 events are supported.
