Status table system information
The Status table is an automatically created data table. View the Status table by connecting the data logger to your computer (see Making the software connection for more information).
Most fields in the Status table are read only and of a numeric data type unless noted. Error counters (for example, WatchdogErrors or SkippedScan) may be reset to 0 for troubleshooting purposes.
Status table values may be accessed programatically using SetStatus()
or Tablename.Fieldname
syntax. For example: Variable = Status.Fieldname
. For more information see: https://www.campbellsci.com/blog/programmatically-access-stored-data-values .
