To Monitor a Run
If necessary, click the Clear button or the Chart Recorder tab to obtain a blank chart recorder screen.
When a Method is started from the System, Data View will start automatically and will record all W

are automatically recorded.
To Save a Run
At the end of a Run, click on the Save button. You will be asked to name the Run. Runs are saved as Data Files.
Data View will automatically ask if you wish to save a Run if you try to clear the chart recorder screen or exit the

Run parameters are printed.
Exporting Data to a Spreadsheet Program
Open the run of interest and the time axis as required.
From the File menu select Export Data. A dialog box will ask you to select what run parameters should be exported as a
text file. This text tile may then be opened in a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft@ Excel.
Section 3 Using Data View with the Data Logging function
Data View includes a Data Logging feature which can be turned on and off using the Log On/Log Off buttons. The
advantage of using this feature is that, in the event of a power failure during a Run, the temporary hidden file is not
deleted and the Run data may be recovered.
With Log On selected, all data sent from the System is automatically stored to the computer hard drive in a
temporary hidden tile. Data is stored even if the Data View application is not active as a chart recorder.
Log Data may be saved as a discrete Log File using the Save Log command under the File menu. A Log File may
opened using Open Log under the File menu. User-selected parts of a file may then be viewed, and stored using
the Save selected data as command under the File menu. The selected data is then stored as a Data File and may be viewed
by clicking the Open button.
If the Log File is not saved by the user, then the temporary hidden file is deleted whenever the Data View application
is exited. This prevents the hard drive of your computer from being filled with unnecessary data.
See the HELP feature for a more detailed description of Data Logging.
