Note: Within a wave burst measurement the tide can be sampled up to four times.
Schedule a logger
You can schedule your loggers to start and stop taking readings when you want and at the
sampling rate you specify for the sampling period. Ruskin indicates any unattainable
conditions in the defined schedule at the bottom of the Schedule tab, and the Enable button
is grayed out.
You can select Revert settings at any time to set the previous schedule. Note that this
action reverts back to the settings (on both the Setup/Schedule tab and the Setup/Basic
Configuration tab) used the last time that you ran the schedule for the logger.
Before you schedule your logger, you should be satisfied with the global preferences
(Options menu/Preferences dialog box) and with the configuration settings for your logger
(Properties view/Setup/Basic Configuration tab or Waves tab). For information, see
“Configure a logger” on page 9
or
“Configure a TWR-2050 logger” on page 13
.
Note
: Whenever the Setup/Schedule tab is in focus, the battery is being used as indicated
by the battery icon on the tab and the animated battery icon in the Navigator view. You
should display the Information tab to save power.
Steps
1. While the logger you want is highlighted in the Navigator view, click the
Setup/Schedule tab in the Properties view.
2. Click

check box.
Tip
: If you select and then clear the
Immediately
check box, you can then manually
modify the current date and time instead of the original values.
4. Choose whether to specify an end time or to take samples as long as possible:
•
To specify an end time, in the
End logging
boxes, specify the date and time
that you want logging to stop.
•
To continue logging as long as possible, click
Maximize logging duration
.
The values in the End logging boxes change to the latest date and time
possible, given the available memory and the specified sampling period.

as possible:
