LogTag Analyzer User Guide (1.9)

ƒ If one or more of the charts have sections with readings outside the LogTag's sensor

range, LogTag Analyzer is unable to calculate the minimum, maximum and average
values, and those sections of the graph will not be displayed. This will likely result in a
"broken" graph line, regardless of whether "show readings beyond specifications" in
the

Charts

section in the

Options

Window is enabled or not.

ƒ Due to the large number of calculations performed in this feature, specifically when

opening large numbers of charts spanning long periods, having the average tabs
displayed can occupy large amounts of memory and run slow. Therefore we
recommend only turning the feature on when required.

Clicking on the highlighted average tab

command will turn the average tabs off.

Selecting the single charts

command in the toolbar while the average charts are

active will disassemble the multi chart, and when switching back to multi chart the
average tabs will be displayed again until turned off.

Behind The Scenes

To create some meaningful results, LogTag Analyzer uses a special trend line process to
calculate the minimum, maximum and average values across multiple charts, rather than
a histogram. It is important you understand this mechanism, so you can interpret the
displayed readings correctly.

This is an example of two LogTags, one with a 5 minute log interval (A) and the other (B)
logging every 2 minutes.
