Message logger
The Message logger DataMode™ stores one or more message or video channels in the output data file.
NOTE
When a large number of channels are selected for a DataMode, the GUI responsiveness can become sluggish. Typically with 500 channels or less, this is not overly intrusive to usability. However, if more than 500 channels are required for any given DataMode, it is recommended that users consider splitting the channels across multiple DataModes when possible; otherwise, users will need to be patient in regard to the GUI response when assigning or editing any of the DataMode parameters.
- Trigger mode: Select one of three available triggering options. Use triggering to eliminate undesired segments of the message stream before it is processed by the DataMode.
- Always on: Do not use triggering. Data storage is always on from the start of the test.
- Trigger: Data storage starts when the trigger channel becomes TRUE and continues until the test run stops.
- Gate: Data storage occurs when and only when the trigger channel is TRUE.
- Trigger channel: Select the logical input channel for triggering - when using a trigger option other than Always on.
- Channel select: From the channels list, select the desired input channels for the DataMode and click the appropriate arrow. Alternatively, drag and drop the desired channels to the appropriate list. All channels selected must have the same sample rate.
