2.1.11 Logging…
This feature is also available as a button on the toolbar:
Using the LBA-USB’s data logging capability, save any of the following to a file:
 Frame data
 Numerical results
 Export log
Frame data log filenames include a .usb-data file extension. A frame data log
file may be read back into the frame buffer by using the File and Load... menu
selections.
Numerical results log filenames include an .RLG file extension. Results log files
contain exported numerical results for use with other applications, such as
spreadsheets or math programs. These can also be viewed with a common text
editor. Results log files are in ASCII format.
Export log files can be saved as any of four different types: Bitmap (.BMP), ASCII
comma-delimited (.CMA), ASCII space delimited (.SPA), and Cursor data (.CUR).
Export log files are write-only. These files are created for use in other
applications like spreadsheets or math programs.
Unlike frame data logging, export logging creates multiple files rather than one
large concatenated file with multiple records. The filename will automatically
include a six-digit number appended to the entered file name. This is a
sequential number starting at 000000. Thus, an export logging operation would
create a series of files that will appear as:
<filename>000000.cma; <filename>000001.cma; … <filename>NNNNNN.cma
