Write high/low log on selected interval

If you check this then at a set interval (the next option) the log file will be written using the above selected formats

Interval time for high/low log writing

The interval time to write the high/low log

Location for the high/low log files

Here you can select a location for the log files to be written to

High/low Log Name

Here you can set the filename for the log files that hold the high/low messages, MBM will add the extension needed

Maximum high/low entries in the log (once this value is reached, the program will delete the oldest entry to add a new one)

Here you state the max number of entries you want to have in the log file, the higher the number the more work MBM will have, but below 100 you should be okay. If the max number is reached then the oldest entry will be removed so a new one can be added. In XML logs this changes a little bit, instead of entries limited to X it's the date's that are limited to X, so you can have as many entries as you want per date but it will only allow as many dates in it as you specify here.

Show high/low negative voltage vector style

Which simply means that the values for the negative voltage get swapped around, so -10 is lower then -12.

XSL entry in XML files (leave blank to have no entry)

Here you have the option to add a XSL entry into the XML file.

XSL is a way of transforming XML into something else, like HTML. You can write an XSL file (which is in XML), and basically pick data parts from the original XML file and place them where-ever you want to in an HTML file. To use XSL you need an XSL processor, luckily IE5+ and Netscape 6+ have them built in.

a valid entry would be: <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="myselectfile.xsl"?>

CSS entry in HTML files (leave blank to have no entry)

Here you have the option to add a CSS entry into the HTML file.

CSS is the same XSL (above) but less powerfull, and for HTML files only

a valid entry would be: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="myselectedstylesheet.css">
