If you are running an experiment in the lab, make sure to put your name and email address in the correct boxes.

Step 5: Data Logging

When you are measuring a parameter such as temperature, turbidity, or pH, the data is outputted to excel files where you direct PC to drop them. The datalog files are set to be named by the current datte you are running the experiment. You must dictate where you want the datalog path. Click on the open folder button next to the datalog path name and you can navigate to a folder that you want the data files to be saved under. It can be a new folder with the current date, or one folder where all your files are located. Once you have the currect folder, click "Current Folder" on the screen and this folder will show up in the datalog path. Note: It is important that you make sure this is the correct folder whenever you run a new experiment, or else results from different experiments can mesh together in the same file if you run it in the same day.
