There are two limitations to using the multiple converters mode in PicoLog:
 | Data is collected at the same rate for each device |
| A single trigger will start the recording for all converters |
If you need to overcome these limitations, two separate instances of PicoLog Recorder can be loaded. If you have tried this previously, you will have noticed that simply attempting to load PicoLog Recorder from the Start menu twice will load PicoLog Player.
You will need to create settings files for the configuration of each converter or each set of converters (use multiple converters mode):
| 1. | Attach one (or the first set) of the converters to the PC |
| 2. | Start PicoLog, select New Settings from the File menu, then follow the sequence of dialogs to setup your Converter(s) |
| 3. | Select Save as... from the File menu, and from the drop down box, select .pls (settings file), then save |
| 4. | Disconnect the first converter and attach the second (or the second set) , then repeat the steps above. |
Once you have a settings file for each converter or set of converters, you will need to start PicoLog Recorder from the command line.
| 1. | From the Windows Start menu, select Run... |
| 2. | Type "C:\Program Files\Pico Technology\Pico Full\plw32.exe" "C:\Program Files\Pico Technology\Pico Full\mysettings1.pls" (where C:\Program Files\Pico Technology\Pico Full\ is your installation directory, and mysettings1.pls is your first settings file) |
| 3. | Repeat the steps above for each of your settings files (e.g. mysettings2.pls) |
Note: None of the converters should be running in fast block mode (this will take precedence, and inhibit other converters from recording during this period).
