Setting the Start Mode
The Start Mode enables you to choose how, and when the data logger starts
taking samples.
To set the Start Mode:
1. Under Clear Mode, select the Clear logger option.
2. Under Start Mode, select one of the following options:
3. When you choose the Start at specified time option, the Start Time sec-
tion of the Logger Sample Timing window becomes available. Use the
Date, Hours, and Minutes drop-down lists and AM/PM radio buttons to
set the time you want the data logger to begin recording samples.
Note: You cannot choose a date or time earlier than the current date and
time values.
Start now This option sets a connected data logger to start taking
samples immediately (within one sample interval) after the
changes in the Logger Sample Timing window have been
applied to the logger’s memory.
Start at
specified
time This option sets a connected data logger to start taking
samples at a pre-defined date and time in the future. Until
then, the logger remains dormant. This delayed start fea-
ture helps to save logger memory and minimizes the col-
lection of unwanted data. You can also use the Start Time
option to ensure that multiple data loggers are synchro-
nized to start logging at the same time.
