Create Data File
When running a Manual Test, creates a new Data File. A standard windows
filebox allows the selection of the Data File name and location. The choices
in [Options], [Data File] determine the default file naming convention and
file location. It also specifies whether or not to automatically name the file
and avoid the filebox prompt.
A separate Data File is created for every active DUT. If there are no DUTs,
only one Data File is created. However, no DUT information is logged.

Log a single data
point
When running a Manual Test, if a data file has been created, logs the
instantaneous output of all devices to the Data File. This is identical in
function to using a 0 averaging time in a test. All non-automated devices
must have their outputs entered in the <Manual Data Entry > window.

Average and take 1
point
When running a Manual Test, if a data file has been created, averages all
devices according to the active averaging method. This is identical to
averaging data during a test. Both automatic and manual averages can be
used to average the data. The drop down arrow displays a menu that lists
the automatic and manual averaging options. The option with an “*”
preceding it is the active averaging mode.
To change the automatic averaging time select it in the menu and enter the
desired averaging time in the input box that follows. Data can be
automatically averaged from 1 to 9999s.

Log 1 point at fixed
intervals
When running a Manual Test, if a data file has been created, logs an
instantaneous data point at fixed time intervals. When the icon is pressed,
an input box displays to allow entry of the time interval. A data point will
automatically be logged when the option is pressed and data points will be
logged repeatedly at the specified time interval until the [Abort Data
Acquisition] button is pressed or the test is aborted. Taking data in this
manner can be convenient when trying to monitor slowly evolving processes,
e.g. the effect of temperature on a DUT.
The output of all manual entry devices must be entered for every data point
logged. This minimizes the automation provided by this function.
Taking data at short time intervals can quickly result in a very large Data
File.
