3.5 How to Start Recording

To start recording, click the "Start" button in the left panel. This will start sampling of gases and PM and
the values are displayed in real-time on the charts in the tabs to the right side of the Zero tab.
Use the "Bag" number control in the left panel to mark events in your test. Bag numbers go from
zero to higher integer values. Currently, the control allows the user to go back to a lower integer
but it's best to avoid doing that. You can change the bag number at any time when the system is
recording and the seconds of data that point onwards will be marked with the current bag number.
This helps to easily distinguish events such as a route, or part of a route, or a vehicle state such as
idling or high acceleration. Bag numbers are most useful if you also have notes about what each
bag number represented during the test.
TIP: You can place your mouse cursor in the bag number field and then use the UP arrow key on
your keyboard to increase the bag number.
