• 

This menu allows the user to monitor and record the selected PIDs. The number of 
signals shown on the screen depends on the size with which they are displayed. If the 
number of required signals exceeds the capacity of the display, a scroll bar appears in 
the right-hand part of the screen so that the user can scroll through the displayed 
signals.  

• 

The side button control bar provides a large number of additional options (refer to the 
next pages).

• 

The Trigger button 

 opens the Display Setting screen for changing the preset limits 

and the type of display format of a selected PID. Clicking one of the four display buttons 
allows the user to display the signal in a different format (digital-type, analogue-type, 
line-type, bar graph-type). On the left-hand side of the menu the display range can be 
set (e.g. the display range can be reduced to see a tiny signal deflection more clearly). 
The right-hand side is used to adjust the limits for the auto capture and/or the beep 
according to the user's needs. The choices for the limits are as follows:  

– 

Above a certain limit 

– 

Below a certain limit 

– 

Within a certain range 

– 

Outside a certain range 

• 

In addition, the trigger button serves to activate/deactivate auto capture and/or the beep 
when reaching or exceeding the limits. The auto capture function is a feature that allows 
the user to capture all displayed data based on the limits set for one or multiple signals. 
Depending on the selection “Transition” or “Condition” the auto capture is triggered when 
the PID in question overshoots/undershoots the set limits or when a certain condition is 
fulfilled. The changed limits are shown on the live display in color or as a line depending 
on the display format.

• 

The Datalogger also offers some special functions which make it easier to read and 
locate faults: 

– 

A value lying outside the selected range is indicated by a dot at the start or end of 
the scale.  

– 

For the digital display in the top row the status of the limits is indicated by the color of 
the boxes concerned. White/green indicates, that the value lies within the limits. 
Red/red means that the value lies outside the limits. Red/green indicates, that the 
value has come back from outside to within the limits again.  

– 

When the signal is displayed in line or bar graph form, it is shown in green as long as 
it lies within the limits. When it overshoots or undershoots the limits, the color 
changes to red.
