Before you begin this procedure, launch the Power Validation Add-On for InstrumentStudio to open your project in the large panel, and configure any voltage, current, and power measurements for any connected channels.

Complete the following steps to capture and record data.
  1. Configure logging by clicking the gear icon ( 1378). This opens the Logging specification window.
  2. In the Logging specification window, select an output path, specify if you want files segmented by time or file size, and configure CSV file formatting.
  3. Click Okay to close the Logging specification window and return to the large panel.
  4. Click Run/Stop to start acquiring data.
  5. For finite measurements, specify the acquisition duration by setting the Mode to Finite and entering the Test Time in seconds.
  6. Choose one of the following:
    • To manually control a recording, click Start Log to begin capturing data.
    • To automatically start a recoding, click Run .
  7. For continuous measurements, click Run/Stop to end recording data. For finite measurements, the recording ends when the capture duration is completed.
