Introduction

PicoLog is made up of a number of separate components but you need only activate the components that you wish to use. As a result, the screen is not cluttered with data that you are not using and the computer can easily be used for other applications whilst you are recording.

The application components that are available are as follows:

PLW Recorder

Enables you to start and stop recording and to specify recording files, the measurements currently being taken and the alarm state.

PLW Player

Enables you to scroll quickly and easily through stored files to compare results on successive runs.

PLW Graph

Shows the readings for single or multiple measurements over a period of time.

PLW XY Graph

Shows the readings of one measurement against another, on the same graph.

Spreadsheet

Shows detailed or summary information in a format which can be copied to a clipboard.

Notes

Enables you to enter information for a particular run.

When you start PicoLog in recorder mode, the computer displays the recorder application. The player application and display windows can be selected from the Window menu.
