Setting the “Stop on Full” Feature


After you complete the New Model Wizard for the first time, you will be prompted to choose whether you want the eLogger to write
over its data when its buffer becomes full, or to stop when the eLogger is full. NOTE: You can change this setting later from the
Hardware menu of the Windows application. If you select “Stop on Full” the eLogger’s LED will flash two flashes in a row when
the buffer is full.


Setting the “Set Capture Rate” Feature

The eLogger can be adjusted to capture data in during the recording session at five different rates. The faster the capture rate, the
more data is obtained, but at the expense of record time. The default rate, ten samples/second, gives the best resolution, but the
record times will be lower than with lower sample rates. You may find that you can get plenty of record time even with the highest
capture rate setting, however.

Note: You can change this setting later from the Hardware menu of the Windows application.

A note on record time: The eLogger uses advanced data compression to get the most data recorded as possible. When your model is
sitting idle before or after the session with the battery turned on, the eLogger is still capturing data, but since not much is changing
very little data is recorded. But when the model is active more data is being recorded.


Setting the “Choose What to Display on the PC Screen” Feature


The eLogger Application can display several model parameters in both numeric and instrument format. Select the parameters you
wish the Application to display with this dialog box. Note that some of the parameters require optional accessories, available from
Eagle Tree Systems.

Note: Select the “Metric” checkbox on this dialog if you want metric operation.

Also, you can change these settings later from the Software menu of the Windows application.
