process on all the database including automatic exports of the data without any click or keyboard use.
To have a full description of the database functions, please consult the Visilog 6™ Database Module

You then have to select the directory in which the database will be stored, its name and the default date.

The database has by default 9 fields : Calibration, Species, Zone, Date, Sample, Length, Weight,
Sex, Comment. You can add other custom fields (to do so refer to the Visilog 6™ Database Module
documentation).
You can visualize your database three different way : forms (by default), list of thumbnails or table.
