PicoLog uses recorder.pls to hold information about the current recording session. A separate file, player.pls, holds information about the current player session.
The user can use the Save as... option in the File menu to save the current settings in a named .pls file. These details can later be loaded to carry out a new test with the same settings.
The recorder.pls file is also written to the end of each .plw data file and is automatically reloaded when an old .plw file is loaded.
All settings files are in Windows .ini format and could be edited using a text editor, although this is not recommended. The file contains the following sections:
| [Sampling] | This section contains details of recording and sampling. |
| [General] | Numbers of parameters, converters, etc |
| [Converter 1] | Generic converter details - type and port |
| [Unit 1] | Type-specific converter details |
| [Unit 1 Measure 1] | Details about a measurement from converter 1 |
| [Parameter 1] | Information on the monitor window |
| [Recorder] | Information on the recorder window |
| [Graph1] | Information on the graph window |
| [XYGraph1] | Information on the XY graph window |
| [Spread1] | Information on the spreadsheet window |
Note: Do not attempt to save your data directly to a floppy disk.
