Folder Name

Here you define the directory where files are automatically stored after data have been downloaded from your logger or indicator. This can be a local folder on your hard drive or a network drive path. UNC folder names are supported. You can:

• Browse the directory structure with the button and select the desired directory.

• Enter the path manually.

  You can mix normal text and pre-defined place holder elements in this definition field. When a new file is stored, the normal text appears as entered, and the place holder elements are replaced with the corresponding information from the logger's data or your computer environment.

  Use the button at the end of the edit control () to display a list with available elements. Selecting an element will insert place holder text representing this element at the cursor location; alternatively you can enter this text directly.

  

  List of available variables

  You can insert following variables, provided the final resulting name is a valid UNC folder name:

A valid storage directory would be %HOMEDRIVE\%HOMEPATH\Documents\My LogTag Documents. You do not need to enclose the string with quotes.

You need to make sure you have write access to the resulting directory. If LogTag^® Analyzer is unable to write to or create a directory, a warning message will appear when you next download a logger and you will then need to select a different directory.
