Data Logging 

General 

Configuring 

The Data Logging utility is a firmware option that allows you to collect data 

using MC5 The collected data may then be viewed, transferred to a personal 

computer (PC) and printed using a utility shipped together with MC5 if 

the Data Logging option is purchased 

The maximum amount of measuring channels can be up to seven (valid 

only if your MC5 includes a sufficient amount of measuring modules/ports) 

Data Logging may be configured to collect data using different triggers and 

saving methods as described further on 

To start configuring the Data Logging 

(starting from Basic Mode), press 

D/Menu, 

C/Others, 

5/Data Logging 

The upper part of the Data Logging configuration 

window is reserved for seven 

measurement channels and the lower 

part for general settings The following 

subchapters describe how they are configured
