Logging data to a storage device
The PA3000 can log data to a USB flash drive. The unit will log all selected
measurements into a comma separated value (.cs v) formatted fi le that is stored on
the connected USB flash drive. Results will be logged at the rate specified in the
USB Host Data Out menu (the default rate is every 0.5 seconds).
Prior to enabling data logging, insert a USB flash drive into the USB host port on
the front of the PA3000. The rear port cannot be used for USB flash drives.
Loggin
gdata
To start data logging press the DATA OUT key. The LED under the key flashes
indicating the data is logging. To stop data logging, press the DATA OUT key.
When the LED stops flashing, the USB fl ash drive is safe to remove.
Data s
torage and format
The data will be logged in a directory created by the PA3000 on the USB flash
drive. The directory structure created will contain the last five digits of the serial
number of the PA3000 used and the date at the start of data logging. The fi le name
wil
lreflect the time at the start of data logging in 24-hour clock format and will
have a .csv extension.

r example, if a PA3000 with serial number 100010210134 begins data logging
on 31 March 2016 at 2:18:56 PM, the directory tree will be as shown below.

The second portion will contain information on the group configuration of the
PA3000. It will contain the group index, the name of the group, the number of
channels in the group, and the number of results returned for the group.
The third portion of the file will contain column headers for every measurement
currently selected. Subsequent columns will contain an indexed set of the
measurements currently selected, in the order displayed on the PA3000 screen.
