Working with Log-Files

PRINTING FILES USING CYGLINK

CygLink has a facility to print all three types of Log-Files – normally only Report Files

would be printed :

¾ Report files

Report files are automatically generated from the CygLink File Viewer, using the Create

Report option - see : Viewing Log-Files

and Creating a Report File, page 47

Ö These are complete Reports which provide full detail of the data collected in an

easy to read form

Ö Report files can also be read into word processor or spreadsheet program for further

formatting

Other file types can be printed for reference, if required :

¾ Gauge Log-files

Gauge Log-Files are the files produced after a datalogging session

Ö The printed output is in a simple text form, and is not intended to be used directly to

produce the final report – they should only be printed for reference

Ö For more advanced formatting the file should be loaded into a word processor or

spreadsheet program, such as Microsoft Excel

Ö Alternatively use CygLink File Viewer to convert the Gauge Log-File into a Report

file, as above

¾ New Log-Files

New Log-Files are the empty template files created by CygLink, before they have been

sent to the Gauge

Ö these should only be printed for reference

L Each type of Log-file is saved with special default file-extensions

see : File Format, page 51.

L Log-files may be viewed and edited using Windows Notepad – very large files (larger

than 64KB) should be opened using Windows Wordpad..
