The Data Logger
4.1 Introduction
The Cygnus Editor includes a simple Data Logger, which collects and stores data
for up to six channels. The Data Logger can also be used to recall data from files,
which can then be printed or output to an ASCII file for importing into other
applications.
4.2 Monitor, the Data Logger
Data logging is performed by running the Monitor function, which can be started
from the program menu, the Controller toolbar, or the Controller’s context menu
(see
Figure 4-1 ). Data is collected for all active channels.
Figure 4-1 Different ways to run Monitor
4.2.1 The Data Display
The Monitor window (see Figure 4-2 ) has four main components - the Trend
Graph, Bar Graph, Menu and Toolbars and Data Grid/Control Panel - each of
which can be displayed or hidden to show the data as needed. The Trend Graph
shows the measurement as a function of time and the Bar Graph shows the
measurement at a point in time, based on the Data Cursor. The Data Grid/Control
Panel shows the intensities of the selected parameters at the Data Cursor. The
Data Grid/Control Panel also allows selected parameters to be changed.
The data can be saved automatically, in files of a maximum size of 21MB, or when
the Snapshot icon is selected. All data can be saved by selecting Monitor >> Save
Data.
