DATA REGISTERING

Data registering will be done in LogBox BLE's internal memory. The internal memory capacity is up to 140,000 logs. The number of logs that can
be stored in the internal memory depends basically on the number of input channels that are enabled, as well as factors such as recording or not
recording the digital input event.
Any channel types (analog or digital in "Pulse Count" or "Event Log" modes) can be recorded in the memory. In the case of analog channel logs or
the digital input in "Pulse Count" mode, the log is periodic and has its interval configured through the configurator software. At the end of each log
interval, the current values of the enabled channels are logged in the memory. In case the digital input is configured as "Event Log", the logs
detected by it will be performed asynchronously to the frequency of the other channels and will be performed at the moment the event occurs.
There are several ways to start and stop logs, many of which can be combined freely. During registering, all selected channels will be logged in the
memory and the range between logs will be respected.
Depending on the type of start and stop selected, there may be log "snippets" in the memory and, therefore, periods with no logged data. This is
fully compatible with the device and is not a problem at all.
In addition to the start and stop modes, you must also configure the memory mode, which can be:
● Circular Memory: Logs will be made continuously in the selected memory. When the memory is full, the oldest data will be erased so that the
most recent data can be saved.
● Full Memory: Logs are terminated when the memory has no more space available.
The available start modes are as follows:
● Immediate Start: The logs will start immediately after reconfiguring the device.
● By Date/Time: The logs will start in the configured date/time.
● By Keyboard: There is a screen in the display where you can change the log status to enabled. Therefore, the logs will start at this point if they
are not already started.
● By Digital Input: When the digital input is triggered, the logs are started. In this case, the digital input channel must have been set to "Logs
Control" mode. To control the logs by digital input, four modes are possible:
○ Starts logs at each rising edge;
○ Initiates logs at each falling edge;
○ Logs at logical level "1" (logs while at logical level "1");
■ In this mode the configured stop mode should be "By Digital Input" too.
○ Logs at logical level "0" (logs while at logical level "0");
■ In this mode the configured stop mode should be "By Digital Input" too.
● By Software: Logs are started with an NXperience Mobile or NXperience command.
● Daily: The logs are started every day, at the configured time. A "Daily" log start mode also requires a "Daily" log stop mode.
The available stop modes are as follows:
● Memory Mode Only: The configuration chosen for the memory mode will dictate the logs behavior: if "Full Memory" is chosen, the logs will end
as soon as there is no more memory space; if "Circular Memory" is chosen, the logs will continue indefinitely.
● By Date/Time: The logs will be finalized at the configured date/time.
● By Keyboard: There is a screen in the display where you can change the log status to disabled. Therefore, the logs will be paused at this point
if they are not already paused.
● By Digital Input: When the digital input is triggered, the logs are ended. In this case, the digital input channel must have been set to "Logs
Control" mode. To control the logs by digital input, four modes are possible:
○ Pauses logs at each rising edge;
○ Pauses logs at each falling edge;
○ Pauses at logical level "0" (pauses while at logical level "0");
■ In this mode the configured start mode should be "Logs in Logical level "1"".
○ Pauses at logical level "1" (pauses while at logical level "1");
■ In this mode the configured start mode should be "Logs in Logical level "0"".
● By Software: Logs are ended with an NXperience Mobile or NXperience command.
● Daily: The logs are paused every day, at the configured time. A "Daily" log stop mode also requires a "Daily" log start mode.
Number of Enabled Channels
* Each channel is recorded in a 16-bit space, except the digital channel accumulator mode that occupies 32 bits (that is, it is equivalent to two 16-bit
channels).
Example: A log with 2 analog channels + digital channel (average in the range) + digital channel (accumulator) corresponds to 5 channels.
