Creating and Running a VI Logger Task
Stopping Your Task
If you set a stop condition for your task, it stops acquiring and logging
automatically. If you do not specify stop conditions when you create your
task, your task normally runs until you manually click the Stop Task
button.
Viewing Your Data
You can move the Task Attributes, Virtual Channels, Calculated Channels, and Real
Time Data tabs around to dynamically interchange them. You can also separate the tab
from the MAX interface by clicking and dragging the tab away from the MAX dialog box.
Tip
When you view your logged data, you can view data such as the start and
stop time, engineering units measured, minimum and maximum value set
for the channel after scaling, and number of scans. In addition, you can
view your data in a display view before, during, or after the data is logged.
Complete the following steps to view the logged data.
1.
In the MAX configuration tree under VI Logger Tasks, click your task
name.
2.
Click the run you want to view.
3.
If not already selected, click the Trace Attributes tab. The following
configuration view appears.
