Essentials

Recording 

In this section you'll learn how to start and stop a recording.

Start recording

  • In order to start a new recording, first select “Logger” and “Start new recording” from the top menu.

  • If you have “Show logger version scan window before start programming” option enabled in the settings, you will be asked whether you would like to use automatic hardware detection. Select your choice and scan the logger.

    You can also select a checkbox if you would like to save the selection and do not show the window again (you can also set these preferences in general settings).

Some logger types support additional fields and if you would like to set values for these fields then using automatic hardware detection would be required. When enabled, an additional wizard will appear with these fields.

You can enable or disable automatic hardware detection in general settings under the field “Show logger version scan window before start programming”.

Remember, if you are using this option, you must put the same types of loggers on the reader. If you would like to use different types of loggers, please start a new recording.

  • A window will open allowing you to choose and modify the recording settings.

  • You can apply the settings from previously saved settings (“Available settings”). If you select “Last Data”, the settings from the last new recording will be applied.

  1. You can also save you settings for later use, by clicking the “Save settings” button.

  2. A new window should pop up. On this new window specify your new settings name and click the “Save” button. You should receive a message near the bottom that the settings were saved successfully.

  1. In order to overwrite the recording settings, first select the name of the settings from the “Available settings” field.

  2. You can make the changes in the fields.

  3. Now, click the “Save settings” button at the bottom. A new window should pop up.

  4. On this new window type the settings name (the same you have selected) and click the “Save” button.

  5. Click the “Yes” button on the new window. Now you should see a message “Success! Current settings saved!”.

  1. In order to delete the recording settings, first select the name of the settings from the “Available settings” field.

  2. Now, click the “trashcan” icon near the “Available settings” field. A new window should pop up.

  3. On this new window click the “Yes” button. A message “Success! Current settings deleted!“ should appear at the bottom.

  • You can choose to start the recording immediately, with a delay (based on number of minutes or specific date and time) or manually (with the “push” button).

    Manual start

  • You can also select profiles (“Profiles data”) in order to customize the fields for your recording. Further in this instruction there will be more explanation on how to create and edit your own profiles.

  • Now, click on the “Start recording” button. Click the “Yes” button to start the recording.

  • A window will open inviting you to place the first logger on the reader. Follow the instructions and wait a few seconds. You can start a recording for as many loggers in a row as you wish.

  • After a successful start of a recording you should be able to see the message “Success – Change logger”.

  • Once you are finished, just close the window.

If you see the message “Error – Change logger”, there could be few possible causes:

  • Removing the logger from the NFC reader too quickly (during the “Data transmission in progress” step)

  • Starting a recording for single-use loggers that already have/had a recording

If you see the message “You must use the same type of recorder as the one detected during automatic detection”, that means that the logger type you have inserted during the detection period is different from the logger type that is currently on the NFC reader.

Stop recording

  1. In order to end the current recording, select “Logger” and “End current recording” from the top menu.

  2. Then place the logger on the NFC reader. You should see a message “Success – change logger”.

  3. Now you can remove the logger from the NFC reader.
