Non validated readings and re calibrated readings will not be displayed with the special attributes even if set in the options If you have chosen to show non validated readings they are included in the minimum maximum average calculations otherwise not To avoid memory overflows there are some restrictions regarding the maximum allowed time span of the charts in a multi chart These restrictions vary with logging interval should you try to add a chart outside the allowed range following dialogue box will appear In this case the multi chart will disassemble so you can close the window whose chart you no longer want to display and re assemble the multi chart by clicking on ey 60 LogTag Analyzer User Guide 1 9 f one or more of the charts have sections with readings outside the LogTag s sensor range LogTag Analyzer is unable to calculate the minimum maximum and average values and those sections of the graph will not be displayed This will likely result in a broken graph line regardless of whether show readings beyond specifications in the Charts section in the Options Window is enabled or not Due to the large number of calculations performed in this feature specifically when opening large numbers of charts spanning long periods having the average tabs displayed can occupy large amounts of memory and run slow Therefore we recommend only turning the feature on when required Clicking on the highligh
2. Note Some Network Attached Storage Devices NAS Drives use versions of SAMBA Server Message Block file servers which do not correctly report back whether a file exists or not Consequently LogTag Analyzer will overwrite without warning an already existing file with the same name regardless of the settings made in the Automation options Uniqueness This determines how the software will manage information retrieved from a LogTag when a file of the same name already exists For example when you retrieve the information from the same LogTag once every day while the LogTag is still recording and the LogTag has not been prepared for its next use and started again The options available include 1 Always create a unique copy of files recommended If a file of the same name already exists then the software will automatically append Copy n to the end of the file name where n will be a unique number 2 Overwrite file if the file already exists If a file of the same name already exists the existing file is overwritten deleted and replaced with a file that contains the information just retrieved from a LogTag 3 Prompt if an existing file already exists If a file of the same name already exists then you will see a message appear asking you whether or not you want to overwrite and replace the existing file with the information just retrieved from the LogTag If you answer Yes then the action described in the option Overwr
