5.14 Log data
The sc1000 controller provides a data log and an event log for each device/probe. The
data log contains the measured data at selected intervals. The event log contains a large
number of events that occur on the instruments, such as configuration changes, alarms
and warnings, etc. The data log and the event log can be exported to the .csv, .txt and
.zip file format. The logs can be downloaded on a storage card or with browser access on
a hard disk drive of a computer.
