ChartView allows you to append data to an existing data file, replace the data file, or store the data to a new file
Stand-Alone OperationFor acquisition over extended periods, ChartView allows theTempScan and MultiScan to act as stand-alone data loggers.Initially,ChartViewisusedtoconfiguretheacquisitionandisthenexited.TheScanproductthenstoresreadingsinitsinternalmemory.Later,atyourconvenience,ChartViewcanuploaddatastoredinmemoryandsaveittoadatafileonacomputer’sharddrive.EachtimeChartViewisinvoked,itautomaticallydetermineswhetherdataisavailableandallowsstoringofdatatoanewfile.
