Data Logging FAQs

Q: How do I configure my inspection to log measurement results from a remote target to a local machine?

You must have an FTP server running on the local machine you want to log the results. Then, configure the Data Logging step to log measurements to the FTP server running on the local machine.

Q: What are the advantages/disadvantages of background FTP data logging?

When information is logged in the background, the logging step has a shorter execution time because the step sends the information to a background task and allows the inspection to continue executing without having to wait for the FTP write operation to complete. A possible disadvantage to background logging is that you can lose information if the background logging task is unable to keep up with the inspection.
