Mobile Measurement Wizard for catman®Professional 3.1

This article concerns mobile data acquisition with an amplifier inside the car/truck and the monitoring outside connected with a radio modem.

To avoid a drop out when the connection to the amplifier is lost for a while, it is important to ignore the error "timeout - connection lost". This error message would stop the data acquisition.

MGCplus has a big buffer to store the values during the failed connection. Therefore values are not lost! The data during the gap are seen after the reconnection in a time-lapse and the database is 100% correct.

The script modification was done for the data logging function of the Measurement Wizard of catman 3.1. This changes can be found in the SUB "Logger" around line 202.
