Start Data Logging – The Wavelength Display measurements can be logged in a
comma separated value (*.csv) file format for use in other graphing programs. If “By
Measurements” or “By Duration” are selected, logging will stop automatically after the
specified number of measurements or amount of time, respectively. If “Continuous” is
selected then logging must be stopped manually by clicking the Stop Data Logging
menu item. The default file name is “Nuview log 1”; if you use this filename then the
number at the end will increment each time you begin a new log.
Click on Start Data Logging, then change the log file name and location or use the
default name and location. Select the radio button for the logging type. When “By
Measurements” is selected, the number of measurements can be adjusted
incrementally using the up/down arrows or by highlighting the current numeric value
and entering a new numeric value with the keyboard. When “By Duration” is selected,
the time can be adjusted incrementally using the up/down arrows or by highlighting
the current time duration and entering a new time duration with the keyboard. Click
Start to begin the logging of wavelength data.
Stop Data Logging – Stops the current logging operation. Note that if you started
logging using the “By Measurements” or “By Duration” options, logging will stop
automatically and you do not need to click on Stop Data Logging unless you wish to
abort early. In any case, the logging data will be written to the specified file when
data logging is stopped.
Open Spectrum – Opens a previously saved measurement of spectral data from a
Bristol proprietary format file. Click on Open Spectrum, browse to find the desired
spectrum, select it, and click on Open to display the saved spectrum. Opening a saved
spectrum will end connection, if any, from the NuView Display Software to the 428
system.
