Logging data
10.1
Setting markers
Interesting occurrences can be marked by the
[ON / Trigger]
button at the front panel or at the
Remote Control Touch by setting a timestamp. When you are pressing this button, the data log-
ger saves the current time to the internal storage as a marker.
It is possible to configure the data logger to send a CAN message as an acknowledgement of
the setting of a marker
An external marker switch can also be connected via the multi-function connector (see the Com-
plex Trigger manual), which functions like the switch on the front panel.
Additionally complex triggers are making it possible to define a message that triggers a marker.
In all cases, marker triggers are debounced.
When downloading the data, the client displays all markers in a data overview. In this data over-
view, the client can be configured to transfer the data close to selected markers.
10.2
Time stamp
The recorded messages and status messages are timestamped on completion of reception, i.e.
when a recipient was able to receive the message. The timestamp is inserted at the end of the
message for most interfaces. The start time of the data transfer is only used for the serial inter-
face (RS232).
