Logging
Logging control

■
•
Pressing the '

Logging Modes
The VBOX Micro supports two logging modes that are set using the VBOX Micro Setup software:
•
Log continuosly.
•
Log only when moving (speed >0.5km/h).
Logging Rates
The VBOX Micro has an adjustable log rate set within the VBOX Micro setup software. This allows the log rate to be set in the range between 1 sample per
minute and 10 samples per second (10Hz)
File Management
•
VBOX Micro data files are stored in Month folders on the CF card, i.e. Dec07, Jan08.
•
Each logged file will have a file name based on each date with the following format: Mon04Dec07_XXXX.VBO.
•
A new file name is created for each new day, but if a file is being logged and the time crosses midnight in the local time then a new file is not created
and logging continues in the currently open file.
•
If the system is switched off and then on again in the same day then it will append new data to the existing file for that day, unless settings are
changed in which case a new file may be created.
•
If you want to create a new file for the same day, you can do this by manually changing the file name of the file previously created, by accessing the
CF card through a PC or laptop. The next file created will then have the standard VBOX Micro file name format
•
If one file is closed and another created on the same day they can be distinguished by an increment to the file number, i.e. Mon04Dec07_0001.VBO,
Mon04Dec07_0002.VBO.
•
When a module is connected the unit must be power cycled in order for the VBOX Micro to recognise the presence of the input module. This will then
cause the VBOX Micro to open a new file as above.
The VBOX Micro will log 13 standard channels plus any additional channels from a connected input module or from the VCI connection on a VBMIC01C.
■
' button again will then re-start the logging to a new file.
