Setting up Data Transfer to the Host

  1. Open the Logging Options window.
  2. Activate or deactivate the Continuous Polling option.

    Note

    Continuous Polling is activated automatically when Periodic to File has been selected.

    Without Continuous Polling, the data is stored on the target buffer and only written to the host at the end of a logging operation, i.e. the polling interval corresponds to the entire logging time.

    If Continuous Polling is activated, the logging values that are stored on the target ring buffer are written to the host PC at every interval defined in the Cycle Time field.

  3. In the Cycle Time field, adjust the cycle time for continuous polling.

    Note

    The Cycle Time field is only available when Continuous Polling is activated.

    When the cycle time cannot be kept, due to a long transportation period, the excess is indicated in the header of the data logger window. Optimization has to be done manually because computing speed, target load, and communication type have a strong influence.

  4. In the Data Rate field, enter a data rate.

    The data rate setting determines, how many values per polling interval are read for every channel.

  5. Set up the target buffer.
