5.6 Starting and Stopping the Levelogger

To begin logging, click the button and the Start Levelogger dialog box will open.

There are two ways to start logging. Choose “Now” to start logging immediately. The Status field in the Levelogger Status window will state: Started and will indicate the logger time and the Start time. Free memory indicates the number of readings remaining at the time of communication.

Choose to start the logging at a later date and/or time. This Start mode is referred to as Future Start in the Status field. After confirmation, the starting time is stored in the Levelogger and it will start collecting readings at the specified time. When the Future Start time is reached, the Status will change to Started.

After the Levelogger is started, it will begin collecting readings. The Start icon will change to a Stop icon .

The Levelogger can be stopped at any time before it reaches the maximum reading capacity. Starting begins a new recording session and clears previously stored data readings.

It is critical to note that LT and LTC Leveloggers log data in Slate mode, which means they will record data until stopped or their memory is full. When the memory fills, the logger will Stop recording. For this reason, it is important to determine, based on your start time and sampling rate, the date and time at which the memory will be full and the logger will stop recording. Levelogger Gold units record in Slate mode if Event or Schedule logging, but in Linear mode they can be set to Slate or to Continuous logging.

You can stop logging from the Levelogger Settings window, by clicking the Stop icon.
