Working with data

Default data tables

By default, the data logger includes three tables: Public, Status, and DataTableInfo. Each of these tables only contains the most recent measurements and information.

  • The Public table is configured by the data logger program, and updated at the scan interval set within the data logger program. It shows measurement and calculation results as they are made.

  • The Status table includes information about the health of the data logger and is updated only when viewed.

  • The DataTableInfo table reports statistics related to data tables. It also only updates when viewed.

  • User-defined data tables update at the schedule set within the program.
