During data logging, the computer's clock controls measurement start/stop/interval, and readings are stored in a data log on the computer.
The data log file size depends on the number of data points, traces, and captures. Make sure your computer has sufficient disk space when performing data logging.
If your IO connection is especially slow or if communication is disrupted, you will likely experience timing issues during data logging. To avoid these timing issues, be sure your IO connection is adequate and increase your sample period as needed.
