value from 1 day to 2 weeks. You click Tools > Purge Settings to
display this dialog box.
A copy of the logbook is automatically archived in the
\MassHunter\Log\Acq\Archive\Logbook folder. If you want to
view an archived logbook, click File > Open in the Logbook
Viewer program and select the .log that you want to view. You
can also save the logbook at any time by clicking File > Save
