File Menu
Start Data Logging – The wavelength measurements can be logged in a comma
separated value (*.csv) file format for use in other graphing programs. If “Stop after
measurements” or “Stop after hours, minutes, seconds” are selected, logging will
stop automatically after the specified number of measurements or amount of time,
respectively. If “Stop manually” is selected then logging must be stopped manually by
clicking the Stop Data Logging menu item. The default file name is “Nuview log
1.csv”; 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 “Stop
after 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 “Stop after hours,
minutes, seconds” 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 “Stop after measurements” or “Stop after hours, minutes, seconds”
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.
Exit - Exits out of the NuView Software.
