Collect Now

The Collect Now function is the equivalent of doing a scheduled data collection for the datalogger without waiting for the scheduled time. Clicking the Collect Now button will initiate a call to the datalogger and any available data will be collected and stored as specified on the Setup Screen. This function is often used to manually update data collection to see the latest data in a Numeric Display or a Graph; or before data files are copied for processing.

Once you have started data collection with Collect Now, you can stop it by clicking the Cancel button on the animated screen. This might be necessary if you started a data collection that is bringing in more data than you really wanted, especially over a slow communications link.
