Preferences

The Preferences dialog box contains several options pertaining to the general operation of the software. These preferences store in the registry (or Preferences folder on the Mac) and apply upon program launch.

You can also set the Default Folder, or the folder that will be opened when Open is selected, by using the Browse button.

Here you can select large text for all objects. Note: The font size shown in the Text Options dialog reflects the small text size.

When checked, traces in graphs will be drawn with thicker lines.


Other

Enable Motion Detector Live Readouts

This will allow the meter to show the current Motion Detector reading, even between data collection. If you dislike the clicking sound of an operating Motion Detector, clear this checkbox. The meter reading will then be incorrect between runs.

Auto Recovery

Auto-recovery enables Logger Lite to automatically make a backup copy of the current Logger Lite environment, including all data currently in data tables. The backup copy updates at the end of each data collection regardless of length, and every 30 minutes during long data collections. If Logger Lite abnormally exits (having a power loss for example), the backup copy detects the next time Logger Lite is launched, and then offers a chance to save the file normally.

Backup files created by the Auto-recovery feature are deleted when Logger Lite is exited normally.

The Auto-recovery feature is on by default, and can be turned off if the creation of backup files creates problems on your computer. Most users will want this feature on.
