7.2. SETTING RECORD RATES
The record rate settings are found under the RECORD RATE tab shown right. This will bring up
the Record Rate window shown below. This is the simple setting window – note the
advanced
radio button is not checked.
7.2.1. Record Rate
Set the logger Record Rate which is the rate at which the logger
takes a sample and stores it in the logger memory. Select the Record
Rate from the drop down menu. Choices are from 10 seconds to 60
minutes.
Record Time - is the length of time the logger will record for based
on the Record Rate selected. It is also a function of the number of
channels in the logger and which of those channels is enabled. See
above . This cannot be modified by the User.
Time – This is the date time stamp of the Android device and is used
to synchronize the logger when a configuration is written. It cannot
be modified by the user.
7.2.2. Sample Rate
If you check the Advanced radio button the Advanced options will be
shown. This allows the User to choose a sample rate, which is the
rate at which the logger takes a sample of whatever it is recording
e.g. Temperature. This sample rate is independent of the Record
Rate described above. The sample rate is always less than or equal to
the record rate. For this example the Record Rate is set to 5 minutes,
so every 5 minutes a value is stored in memory, however the Sample
Rate is set at 10 seconds, so every 10 seconds the logger takes a
sample. That means after 5 minutes the logger will have taken 30
samples. The Sample rate allows the User to take more data than is
recorded which saves memory space. How these samples are
processed depends on the Sample Mode below.
7.2.3. Sample Mode
Tap the radio button alongside the Sample Mode you wish to use.
Instantaneous – The Sample rate is the same as the Record rate
which is equivalent to deselecting Advanced.
Average – All samples collected between Record Rates are averaged
(it is a rolling average) and then stored in memory.
Maximum - The maximum value of all samples taken is stored in memory at the Record rate. This is
useful if you are looking for a high alarm while recording at a slower rate.
Minimum - The minimum value of all samples taken is stored in memory at the Record rate. This is
useful if you are looking for a low alarm while recording at a slower rate.
Press the OK () button to accept or “X” to cancel.
