ATABASE
The ‘Database’ tab shows the currently used database. The checkbox can be used to open this database after
starting bbe++. We recommend you to store all the data in the same database.
Automatic start of measurement
For continuously working instruments (AOA or FluoroProbe / AlgaeTorch) the software can be configurated to
start the measurement directly after starting the software. The feature can be used to ensure, that the
measurement starts again after a power fail.
Auto Archive
If there are many datasets in the database, navigation in the database becomes slow. The “Auto Archive”
function automatically archives older data in the database. If there are data older than – in the example – 60
days, the auto-archive function is started. Only datasets that are a maximum of 30 days old remain in the
database.
The archived data is written in a database similar to an exported database. The name corresponds to the date of
the first dataset in this database.

ISPLAY
Enter the time period which defines the maximum interval between two measurements of the same series. The
setting is used for the “Next measurement” button in the toolbar.
