Logging Options 5
To enable logging option, you must set the WaveMANAGER/
CLIENT to “Enhanced Mode” as described in “Enabling/Disabling
Enhanced Mode” on page 5-15.
Once the WaveMANAGER/CLIENT runs in Enhanced Mode, you
can set the log option to store measurement data manually, or
automatically at regular intervals.
■ Use “manual” when you would like to save measurement data
at specific locations and moments, e.g. when you are
investigating a particular source of interference.
■ Use ‘”automatic” when you would like to collect measurement
data on network performance over a longer period of time.
This may be useful if you wish to analyze recurring events or
variation in values.
Automatic logging is typically used when the WaveMANAGER/
CLIENT station is running a Link Test at a particular location.
Setting the Logging Options 5
To set the logging options, click the “Log Settings” tab in Link Test
window. In both modes, the measurement data will be saved in the
file entered in the “Path and file name” field. Each time new data is
saved, this information is added to the existing file. If you wish to
save the data in a new file, use this field to enter a new file name.
