Selecting the Logging Mode

  1. Open the Logging Options window.
  2. Activate either Log all value changes, Periodic Sampling, or Periodic to File.

    You can only select Log all value changes if this mode has been enabled in the code generation settings (see Preparing to Log All Values).

  3. Activate Log only last value change per time stamp to reduce the Log all value changes mode to logging only the last change of each logged variable per time stamp.

  4. Select a task from the Log At combo box.

    Note

    The Log At combo box is invisible when Log all value changes is activated.

    During online experiments, the combo box shows all tasks defined in the project. Logging then always occurs after the selected task has been executed.

    During offline experiments, logging always happens after every event defined in the event generator. The combo box contains a single entry that cannot be changed.

  5. In the Host Logging Buffer field, adjust the channel length for the host logging buffer.

    Note

    The Host Logging Buffer field is deactivated when Periodic to File is activated.

    This setting determines how many values are stored in the ring buffer on the host-PC for each channel.

  6. Set up data transfer to the host.
