2.7 Saving measurements in real time

The real-time data transmitted by the instrument can be recorded directly in a database corresponding to the
session. This differs from the process of downloading data stored in the instrument, then saving them, since
here the data are recorded directly in the computer as they are acquired. These data are not necessarily
stored in the instrument, but it can be configured to record them as well, in which case there will be two
records, one in the computer and one in the instrument.
In addition, samples of waveform plots can be recorded (depending on the model) in the instrument, using
the screen of the control panel (for this additional function, the instrument must not already be acquiring or
recording a waveform).
Recording a measurement in real time:
1) select the Start recording real-time data option from the File menu ; a new window opens and
prompts you to select or type a name for the database, then determine its location in the tree; click
on Save to create the database or Cancel to return to the control panel.
2) the creation of the database is accompanied by a window requesting information (figure 2-8)
concerning the session (Operator, Site, Custom). This information remains linked to the session and
will be used for the automatic writing of reports.
– the Operator and Site pages are used to draw up lists of operators and sites, saving time
in the preparation of the reports. The Site page includes a reserved area for the addition of
remarks or further information.
– the Custom page contains a list of parameters having defined usages. Each parameter is
associated with a check box; the parameters that are checked will be kept in the database.
The Custom page can used to define any other parameters it would be desirable to recall
when writing the reports.
3) after filling in the various fields, click on "OK";
4) all measurement data will be recorded until the "Stop recording in real time" command is activated
in the File menu. When you stop recording, you are automatically asked if you want to open the
database.
