following table for explanation.
Sampling Direction Diagram
Multi-Vertical:
When this option is selected, multiple
numbers of different register data could
be logged into each vertical column in
the selecting area simultaneously.

Multi-Horizontal:
When this option is selected, multiple
numbers of different register data could
be logged into each horizontal row in the
selecting area simultaneously.

Sampling Direction Diagram

Single-Vertical:
When this option is selected, only one
number of register data could be logged
into one cell for one time. The sampling
operation is in vertical direction. The
sampling operation of the second
vertical column will not start unless the
sampling operation of the first vertical
column is done. Please refer to the right
diagram.
Single-Horizontal:
When this option is selected, only one
number of register data could be logged
into one cell for one time. The sampling
operation is in horizontal direction. The
sampling operation of the second
horizontal row will not start unless the
sampling operation of the first
horizontal row is done. Please refer to
the right diagram.
Anywhere:
When this option is selected, the register
data could be logged into any desired
cell.

2. Selection Range

Press Excel button and the system will open the editing Excel template sheet
immediately.

In Excel template sheet, use the mouse to decide the selection range. After the desired
range is selected, press Close button to finish.

3. Stamp Time and Date

When this option is selected, the sampling time and date will be written as well
automatically when the sampling data is recorded. The written position will be
different depending on the setting sampling direction. Generally, the written position
will be at the previous column or row before the selection range. However, if the
following three conditions occur, the function of Stamp Time and Date will be disabled.

a. When the sampling direction is vertical and the selection range includes column
A (the first column).

b. When the sampling direction is horizontal and the selection range includes row
1 (the first row).

c. When the sampling direction is anywhere.
