|
Description |
When the X-axis and all Y-axes is defined, and when the DLOG file name is specified, it remains to add points (data) into DLOG. Use this command to do this as many times as needed. The first time this command is called, the Y-axis values are set for the first point (as many <value> parameters as the Y-axis should be set), the second time for the second point, etc.
When the values of all points are defined, execute the ABORt:DLOG command and the creation of the DLOG file is complete. |
