Starting And Stopping The Levelogger - Solinst Levelogger 5 Series Quick Start Manual

Starting and Stopping the Levelogger

1. If desired, enter a Future Start and/or Future Stop Time. To start logging
immediately, do not fill in a future start time and click the 'Start Now' icon.
Note: When the 'Start' icon is selected, a window will pop-up to indicate how much
memory is available. Selecting "Yes" ignores the message and starts the
datalogger immediately. Selecting "No" gives you the chance to access the 'Data
Control' tab to download and/or delete data files using the 'Download Files'
option, to free-up memory.
2. When "Yes" is selected, all settings are applied to the Levelogger and it will start logging
at the specified time.
3. To stop the Levelogger immediately, click the 'Stop Now' icon.
Tip: The 'future start' and 'future stop' options are ideal for synchronizing the data
collection of multiple Leveloggers and Barologgers.
Downloading and Working with Data
1. Click the 'Data Control' tab to access the 'Data Control' window. This window is
laid out in three sections: Levelogger settings, tabular data, and graphical data.

from Levelogger' icon. There are four options for downloading data. They are:

data file.
3. To save data, click the 'Save Data' icon and input desired name for the saved file.
4. To export the file for use in other software, click the 'Export' icon. The file can be
exported to a *.csv or *.xml file.

menu at the top of the software window. Select 'Application Settings' and input
or navigate to a different folder destination. Click 'OK'.
