PicoLog general hints and tips

Here are some “cool features” within PicoLog software that you may not be aware of:

Support for multiple converters. With PicoLog software you can use a mix of our products on the same PC at the same time. For example you could use a TC-08 to record temperature on 8 channels and a ADC-16 to record voltages from another 8 channels. PicoLog will record and display from all 16 channels.

To enable support for multiple converters, select File | New Settings and click on the ‘enable multiple converters’ button.

‘Save As’ options. When you collect data in PicoLog it is saved as default as a PicoLog data file (.PLW extension). By selecting File | Save As from the PicoLog recorder you also have a number of other choices, these are:

Settings Files (.pls) which contain all the settings, but no data, this is useful for storing different setups for later recall.

Text files (.txt) which store the data in simple ASCII text format which many programs can import.

Comma seperated values (.csv) which most spreadsheets and database programs can import.
