Recording Options
Use the Recording Options tab to configure data logging operations in LabVIEW SignalExpress. If a project includes steps with valid output signals, you can begin logging immediately by clicking the Record button and selecting a signal from the Logging Signals Selection dialog box. However, the Recording Options tab enables you to configure more advanced logging options, such as start and stop conditions, alarms, and events.
The Recording Options tab includes the following pages:
- Signal Selection—Specifies the signal(s) to log.
- Log Summary—Specifies the name, author, and description of a log and the folder in which to save the log file.
- Start Conditions—Specifies conditions that must occur for LabVIEW SignalExpress to start logging the signal(s).
- Stop Conditions— Specifies conditions that must occur for LabVIEW SignalExpress to stop logging the signal(s).
- Alarms—Specifies conditions under which LabVIEW SignalExpress records an alarm in the log.
- Events—Specifies occurrences that LabVIEW SignalExpress records as events in the log.
The Recording Options tab also includes a Recording status field that displays the following information about logs you are currently recording and available disk space:
- Recording—Indicates whether LabVIEW SignalExpress is currently logging a signal.
- Disk Information—Indicates how much disk space is available on the machine.
- Current estimated log size—Displays the estimated size of the current log in megabytes.
- Recording time left—Indicates how long you can continue recording the current log before you run out of memory on disk.
- Current log started on—Indicates the start date and time of the current log.
