Section 7. Monitoring Data in Real-time
Choose the parent folder for the desired data file by pressing the Browse
button. A folder within the chosen folder will be created using the Station
Name of the datalogger for which data is being displayed. The data file will be
named based on the name of the table and a timestamp representing the time
when the data is first written to the file. The Save To File check box is
automatically cleared each time the Stop button is pressed.
You can press the View File to view the file created when the Save to File
check box is selected. The data file must be closed for the View File button to
be enabled. The file is closed when the Stop button is pressed or the Save to
File check box is cleared.
