2 Real-time logging

The main purpose of LogWare is to perform real-time data acquisition from Hart Scientific multi-channel digital thermometer readouts. This section de scribes in detail how to configure, start and stop a real-time log session. This section also describes the features available during a real-time log session.

2.1 File menu

The File menu contains some options for creating a new real-time log session and for opening and saving real-time log session configuration files.

2.1.1 New

The New menu option can be used to clear the current real-time log session settings and display the Log Session Settings dialog.

The button on the toolbar corresponds to the New menu option.

When selecting the New option, a prompt is displayed to confirm that the cur rent real-time log session settings (if any) will be reset. To abort resetting the current real-time log session settings, click the No button. Otherwise, click the Yes button to reset the current log session settings. The Log Session Settings dialog will be displayed. Please refer to Section 2, Real-Time Logging, for more information on configuring a real-time log session.

2.1.2 Open

The Open option allows a real-time log session configuration file to be opened. If the same basic configuration is frequently used to perform real-time logging, saving the log session settings to a configuration file can greatly reduce the time it takes to configure and start a real-time log session.

The button on the toolbar corresponds to the Open menu option.

User’s Guide

Note: When opening a configuration file, LogWare attempts to communi

cate with the thermometer readout to verify that the settings saved in the configuration file are compatible with the current thermometer readout configuration. Therefore, it is necessary to have the thermometer readout connected and powered on in order to successfully open a configuration file.

When selecting the Open option, the Windows® Open dialog is displayed. The \Config folder should be selected by default (or the folder that is specified for configuration files on the LogWare Options dialog). Real-time log session con figuration files should have a .rls extension. To cancel opening a configuration file, click the Cancel button. Otherwise, select the configuration file to open and click the Open button. For more details about the real-time log session con figuration file, refer to Section 7.1.1, Log Session Configuration File. Real-time log session configuration files can also be opened by clicking the Open button on the Log Session Settings dialog.

LogWare then reads the log session settings from the configuration file and verifies that the configuration of the currently connected thermometer readout is compatible with the log session settings. If there are any conflicts, or if LogWare is unable to communicate with the thermometer readout, appropriate messages are displayed.

Once the configuration file has been read in, the Log Session Settings dialog is displayed. If LogWare was unable to communicate with the thermometer readout or any other error occurred, the log session settings may be incomplete.

2.1.3 Save as

The Save As option allows the current real-time log session settings to be saved to a configuration file. If the same basic configuration is frequently used to per form real-time logging, saving the log session settings to a configuration file can greatly reduce the time it takes to configure and start a real-time log ses sion. Before attempting to save a real-time log session configuration, use the Log Session Settings dialog to configure the log session.

The button on the toolbar corresponds to the Save As menu option.

When selecting the Save As option, the Windows® Save As dialog is dis played. The \Config folder should be selected by default (or the folder that is specified for configuration files on the LogWa re Options dialog). Real-time log session configuration files are saved with a .rls extension. To cancel saving a configuration file, click the Cancel button. Otherwise, enter the filename for the configuration file and click the Save button. For more details about the real-time log session configuration file, refer to Section 7.1.1, Log Session Configuration File. Real-time log session configuration files can also be saved by clicking the Save As button on the Log Session Settings dialog.
