The two options for starting a remote data logging experiment are Manually and On a Triggering Event. When On a Triggering Event is selected, the Go Direct sensor waits for a trigger threshold
condition to be met before recording data. It is always a good idea to do a test run on the triggering event prior to running your remote data logging experiment.<\/p>\n

Steps to configure a remote data logging experiment on a trigger<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Launch Graphical Analysis and connect your Go Direct sensor.
    For detailed instructions for connecting the sensor to the Graphical Analysis app, refer to Getting Started with Go Direct Sensors<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    1. Click or tap Mode<\/strong>, \"\", to open Data Collection Settings.<\/li>\n
    2. Choose the sensor channel used for the trigger and set the trigger threshold value.
      \u25cf You can trigger as the sensor reading increases or decreases past the threshold value.
      \u25cf You can choose to collect data points before the trigger condition is met. The time values for those points will be negative.<\/li>\n
    3. Set Remote Logging to Enabled<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
    4. Click or tap Done<\/strong><\/li>\n
    5. Click or tap the Start Logging<\/strong> button, \"\", to start monitoring for the trigger.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
