8.2 Measurement modes
Two measurement modes are supported by the LSGUI
program. They are both selected from the measurement window
using the Mode field located on the right hand side of the
window. The following modes are available :
Run Once mode This mode will cause all measurements to
be taken once when the
button is
clicked. Once a cycle has been started, it will run
through completely, even if the
button is
clicked. This is to avoid incomplete measurement
records when the data logging function is enabled.
Cycle mode In this mode of operation, measurements are taken
continuously. This mode of operation is required for data
logging applications. It is selected automatically when
the data logging function is enabled. The cycle mode is
started using the button and stopped using the
button.
