The Event column lists the event types, whether the event is a
measurement, calculation, log group, or report.

The Interval (s) column displays the interval of the events in seconds.
Some of the intervals are defined automatically by Lizard and cannot be
altered. The smallest recommended interval for the QML logger is ten
seconds, with the exception of wind calculations. The most common
default interval is one minute (60 s).

The Synch time column lists the synchronization times. The
synchronizing time ties the operation to the clock. For example, if an
operation is always to be performed twenty minutes to the hour, the
synch time should be set to 00:40:00. The smallest synchronizing time
increment on the Normal user level is one minute.

In the Time zone column you can change the time zone. You can
choose between local time and the international time standard Universal
Time Coordinated (UTC). When you use UTC time, you have to set the
time zone to the QML logger.

You cannot alter the items in the first two columns of the table. You can
change the rest of the settings by double-clicking on the default values.
After double-clicking you either insert the new value, choose it from a
combo box, or use the two arrows to select the correct value. You
cannot physically rearrange the order of the events, but changing the
intervals and synchronization times leads to the same result.

NOTE

Choose the interval in such a way that 24 hours is evenly divisible by
it.

NOTE

The information pane with general help information is available on all
the configurable items in case you need more detailed information.
