Recording DataConnecting to HardwareConnecting to the hardware places an experiment window in the monitormode and changes the Record button color to green, indicating that thesystem is ready to begin recording. While the incoming data stream can bemonitored from the Instrument Control Panel, none of the data is beingsaved to memory when the system is in the monitor mode.1. Click the Connect to Hardware button to open communicationsbetween the software and the various hardware devices.2. Once the instrument is connected, the Record button on the experimentwindow toolbar will turn green, indicating that the software isready to begin recording data.Note:Once the laser is enabled or turned on, a wait time of up to 30 seconds maybe required before the laser is functional.Connect to HardwareiconRecord icon disabled until allhardware is connectedStarting Data Recording1. To start recording data, click the green Record button.The button face changes to a flashing red, indicating that DYNAMICSis recording data. Incoming data are displayed in the Measurementsgrids of the experiment window.While the experiment window is in recording mode, incoming data arerecorded, regardless of the view you are looking at. Incoming data canbe displayed in any of the views available on the experiment windowtoolbar—Datalog Grid, Datalog Graph, Spectral (Plate Reader Only),Correlation, and Regularization.Note that DYNAMICS does not permit Microsoft Windows to go intosleep mode while data is being collected.DYNAMICS User’s Guide (M1400 Rev.
