Click the Stop button, or select Logging > Stop from the Logger menubar.
If monitoring and recording are active simultaneously, clicking the Stop button will first

Record stop button
Data will be Recorded according to the conditions set in Section 5.2, “Logging
Configuration, Recording Start/End.” If a fixed time was set, the Record button will be
inactive.
When starting recording, a communication performance bar will get displayed. If some
data from the DA100, DC100, or DR, aren’t acquired properly, then this will be visible on
the performance bar, as the indicator will start blinking. The communication indicator will
keep blinking after the Performance bar exceeds 100%.
In such a case respond as follows.
• Increase the communication speed.
• Increase the length of the recording interval.
• Stop collecting Alarm data.
• Stop collecting Math data.
• Reduce the amount of modules attached to the DARWIN equipment.
• Use a faster communication module (RS-232-C/RS-422-A < GP-IB < Ethernet).
