9.1.2 Selecting the Data Channels
Once you have opened the Log Data window, you will need to select which channels to log.
Select a channel by clicking on the items in the left hand side window. To select more than
one item to add, hold down the ‘Ctrl’ key on the keyboard while clicking on additional items.
Once you have selected the items that you wish to add, press the ‘>>’ button or press the enter
key to add the channels that you have selected from the left hand side column. When you
have added the items, the items will appear in the right hand side column. When the user
shuts down the data-logging window, the channels that have been selected will be recalled for
future use.
9.1.3 Logging the Data
Once you have selected all the channels that you wish to log, press the ‘Start Data logging’
button. To stop the Data log press the ‘Stop Data logging’ button.
While the data is being logged, the Logging time elapsed will show how long the data logging
has been running for. The logging time is limited by your hard disk space, but be aware that
excessively large log files may be slow to view or require large amounts of resources from
your PC to process.
When the data log is terminated the following dialog box will appear.
The comment field can be used to store a brief description of what type of data is logged. This
field is optional and can be left blank, but it is advisable to put some text in here.
The second field that appears is for a file name that the data logger will save the information
in. The default filename extension will be ‘.csv’. As an example, if you type “lap1” in the
filename field, then a file will be saved as “lap1.csv” in the directory in which Halwin was
started. If you wish to choose which directory to save the log files to, then press the “Save
File As” button to open the following dialog.
