To delete a filtered series, select the series name and click Delete .

4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 to create additional filtered series.
You can create filtered series for all channels and multiple filtered series on a single channel (for example,
you can show the maximum, minimum, and average temperature for a single temperature channel).
5. Click Done when finished. The number of filtered series that you created is displayed on the Filter button
in the Logger Launch dialog box.
After you launch the logger and read it out, the filtered series is automatically listed in the Plot Setup dialog,
from which you can select the series you wish to plot.
Note
If you change the GMT offset for the filtered series, the data points do not reflect that change. They do continue
to be filtered based on times within the original GMT offset at launch.
See Filtered Series vs. Statistics Logging for more information.
Configuring a Data Assistant (Scaling)
When you run a Data Assistant from the Launch Logger dialog box, you can create a derived series, which is an
additional data series automatically calculated each time you read out the logger. The Data Assistants dialog
box lists only those assistants available for the currently selected sensor and logger at launch time. There may
be other Data Assistants available for use after reading out the logger.
Complete the following steps to set up a derived series using the Linear Scaling Assistant:
1. Enable one or more channels and enter a name and LCD units for the channels.
2. Click Scaling to open the Data Assistants dialog box.
3. Select Linear Scaling Assistant and click Create .
4. Select the scaling parameters to apply to the selected series and click Save . The new series is added to the
My Derived Series list.
Note: Although it is possible to set up more than one scaling value for each sensor on the USB-5106, only
the first scaling value for that sensor is used.
The example below shows a scaled series named Percentage set up for the first voltage channel (ch1).
