Measurement Log
Data Logging Notes:
MetStream logs data to an internal SD card (not user removable).
Data logging occurs continuously once MetStream is connected to a
recognised/configured external instrument; in this case data logging cannot be disabled.
If no unit (e.g. MetPak) is connected to the MetStream then no data is logged.
Logging will not occur if the MetStream is set for NTP or STP whilst directly connected
to a PC (only in Manual time mode and time set).
MetStream logs data at the output rate of the connected instrument (up to 32Hz).
MetStream creates daily log files up to a maximum of 96 after which the oldest dated
folder is deleted.
Logged data can be downloaded to a PC or to a USB flash drive connected to MetStream.
Saving Logged Data to a PC Download Location
Select the Measurement Log Tab.
If for instance you had selected the box of Log: 20/12/2015 and clicked on
CSV
this
would save a MSLOG_20151220.csv file to the PC Downloads Folder.
(E.g. Start/Documents/Downloads (MSLOG_Year/Month/Day.csv file).
If
ZIP
had been clicked on then this would save a zip file MSLOG_20151220.zip to the
PC Downloads Folder.
This file can automatically open in a spreadsheet format if for instance Microsoft Excel or
Libre Office Calc are installed on the PC as per the following example. Otherwise the data
can be opened as a Comma Separated text file.
Larger files can take a few minutes to download.
