Check Data Against Log Design

LogPlot's Data Editor uses tabbed "datasheets" to organize the different kinds of information that can be plotted on the graphic log. The program matches these datasheets - their types and their names - to items in your log's design to know which data items to plot at specific locations in the log.

If you have a log design for which you wish to enter new data, you can easily create a blank template of datasheets for that design using Log Designer's Create New Data Template menu option. If you have an existing data file, you can use the Data Editor's Update Data Template from Log Design menu option to update the data for new design items.

But, what if you still get blank spaces on your log when you compile your data? Use the Data Editor’s Data | Check Data Against Log Design command.

The program will scan the current log design and data files, and compare the entities in both. It will open a text window and display a summary of its findings, similar to the example below. Note that the items are listed by their names, displayed on the datasheet tabs or column headings (data file) and assigned to items in the log design.
