Stopping A Log; Downloading Data To A Pc; Viewing Logged Data - In-situ Level TROLL 500 Operator's Manual

Stopping a Log

A log can be manually stopped at any time, even if a stop time has been previously scheduled. If you did not specify a stop
condition when you defined the log, the log will run until the instrument is out of memory or battery power, or until you
manually stop it.
A log that has been stopped cannot be resumed. If you intend to resume a log later, you
should suspend a log rather than stop it.
1. To manually stop a log, the instrument must be connected to the software.
2. Select the Logging tab
3. Select the running log you intend to stop.
4. Click the Stop Log button

Downloading Data to a PC

This procedure copies the data log from the instrument to a PC. It does not remove the data log from the instrument. After a
log is downloaded, it can be exported to a CSV file format that can be used by spreadsheet programs. The time shown in the
log name is the time the log was downloaded.
1. With an instrument connected, select the Logging tab
2. Select the log you intend to download.
3. Choose a Running, Suspended, Stopped, or Deleted log.
4. Click the Download
5. In the next screen, select one of the three download options.
