Data Logger and Scope Display Differences
The Data Logger function is not available if Option 055 has been ordered.
The Data Logger is similar to the Scope View function except that it lets you view and log output
voltage and current data for up to 99,999 hours.
As in Scope View, you can configure the Data Logger View to display voltage or current waveforms for
all outputs. Power waveforms can be displayed for all outputs because of the interleaved data logging
capability. Refer to Data Logger Sampling Modes for more information.
The display functions like a strip chart recorder. Use the Waveform Display knobs to scroll through the
data. Unless specified otherwise, data is automatically stored to a file named default.dlog.
Logging Data
In the following data log example, a user-defined arbitrary waveform is captured on the data logger.
The data logger records the actual output voltage of the arbitrary waveform.
Step 1 – Program the arbitrary waveform:
Configure the user-defined arbitrary waveform as described under Configuring User-Defined Arbs.
Program the voltage and time values as follows:
Step 0: 10 V; 1 s
Step 1: 20 V; 1 s
Step 2: 30 V; 1 s
Step 3: 40 V; 1 s
Step 4: 50 V; 1 s
Repeat Count: 5
