8.3.1 Logging Data
Before you start the logging, set up and activate the measurements that you want to
log as described in:
●
Chapter 4.2, "Automatic Measurements", on page 80
●
Chapter 7, "Multimeter Measurements", on page 146
●
Chapter 11, "Frequency Counter (R&S RTH-K33)", on page 258
1. Access the logger mode, see Chapter 8.1, "Accessing the Logger Mode",
on page 158.
2. Select the "Logger" menu.
3. Select the source that you want to log.
4. Select the sample rate.
If you change the source or the sample rate during running acquisition, you are
asked to restart the logging with the new setting. Without logger restart, the source
or sample rate remains unchanged.
5. Select the horizontal scale.
By default, the horizontal scale is set to "auto". In this case, all logged data are
always displayed, and the scaling is adjusted automatically when the amount of
data increases.
6. Select the slot, where the logged data will be stored.
7. Optionally, enter a name for the slot.
8. To start logging, press the [RUN STOP] key.
When you stop logging, the logged data is stored automatically in the selected slot.
Each slot stores the data of a single logging period. If you use the slot a second
time, the stored data is overwritten.
8.3.2 Automatic and Manual Scaling
Nomally, the instrument adjusts the vertical scale of the logger data automatically,
using the statistical values. If the automatic scale and position are not optimal due to
outliers in the measurement results, you can adjust the scaling manually. The scaling
mode is shown in one-log-view, in the upper right corner of the screen.
