Settings Target
: Select the LGR-5320 Series device to configure with the settings file. By selecting a device,
DAQLog only shows settings that are compatible with that device.
If you select a settings target of LGR-5329 and try configure a LGR-5325 with that file, the LGR-5325 may not
support some of the settings, and the
SD STAT
LED flashes to indicate an error.
Name
(optional): Enter a brief explanation of the configuration in the
.set
file. The name displays in the
Available Items
list, with the actual file name in parentheses.
For example, if you enter LGR-5327 AI0 CI0 in the
Name
field, it appears in the
Available Items
list as
LGR-
5327 AI0 CI0(log_cfg.set)
.
Logging Options
: Select any of these options that determine when logging begins, how data is stored, and
whether to operate the relay during logging.
o
Overwrite oldest log when memory full
: The device overwrites the oldest log files when the SD card's
memory is full. If not selected, logging stops when the SD card's memory is full.
o
Create hourly folders for new logs
: The device creates a new subdirectory every hour to store logged
data.
o
Autostart new log on completion of current log
: A new log session automatically begins after a log
session ends. Data from each log session is stored in a separate folder.
If not selected, you must start a new log session by pressing the device's
LOG
button.
o
Autostart new log upon device powerup
: The device immediately begins logging when powered on.
Otherwise, you must start logging by pressing the device's
LOG
button.
o
Set relay when logging post-trigger data
: The relay energizes at the start of post-trigger data, and
remains energized until the log session ends.
Leave this option unchecked to eliminate the relay "click", and to reduce wear on the relay.
