4.2.4 Record a File

The recording wizard in DataLog X2 differs from the recording wizard in Terminal X2. Rather than

just recording any data incoming on the serial port, DataLog X2 will interpret and parse the data

into the current workspace to allow real-time data to be displayed and potted using the charting

tools available on the

Real time data can be logged to

file with the Recording wizard.

As with the other wizards, set

up the instrument type and

communications settings.

If the instrument is not listed,

then a 'Generic Instrument' can

be selected from the dropdown

and suitable comms settings

entered.

The next screen sets the

interrupt settings, selects the

incoming Data format and adds

the ability to filter the incoming

string.

If the data format is not known,

select generic instrument, the

next screen will allow the format

to be defined.

Filtering is also available. For

example, if an instrument such

as the TideMaster is outputting

multiple NMEA strings such as

$PVTM1 for met, and $PVTMA

for Tide, the start filter can be

set to $PVTMA to only log the

tide data.
