Chapter 6: MeasurementsYou can close the DataLog window by clicking in its close box (at the left endof the title bar). If you have recorded any data since the last time you savedthe log, Canary asks if you want to save the log before closing. If you close aDataLog window without saving, its contents will be lost, since choosing DataLog from the Windows menu always brings up a new (empty) data logwindow. Saving the data log and opening saved logs are discussed later inthis chapter.MixedmeasurementsThe entries in a data log may contain different sets of measurements (“mixedmeasurements”). For example, a data log can include entries from differentpanes. Figure 6.3 shows a data log containing measurements made in both thewaveform and spectrogram panes (see the discussion below on how to addcomments to a data log, like those shown in the figure). Mixed measurementscan also occur even if all of the entries are from one pane, if the pane’smeasurement panel is reconfigured between entries.Remember that if a data log contains mixed measurements, the columnheaders that are displayed may not apply to all of the entries (since thedisplayed headers refer only to the highlighted entry).Figure 6.3. A data log containing mixed measurements. Both windowscontain the same data, but a different entry is highlighted in each. The columnheader shows which measurements are recorded in the highlighted entry.Canary 1.2 User’s Manual 101
