2. Click icon in the top menu or “Start Mission” button at the bottom.

1. If the Transport Logger card can’t be detected, the error message will be displayed:

In such a case check the reader and card connection.

1. If the card contains the previous mission data that were not yet read, the warning will be displayed.

To store the previous mission data follow the instructions in Store mission chapter.

Parameter	Description
Sensor ID	Sensor serial number that is read and filled in automatically. The same number is printed on the Logger Card.
Type	Type of sensor that is read and filled in automatically.
Name	Mission name (max. 64 characters). The content of this field is copied into the mission export comment.
Description	Mission description (max. 256 characters). The content of this field is copied into the mission export comment.
Start mission	There are two options: Start mission after minutes is a delay in minutes from the mission start to the first measurement. Start mission at specific time sets the date and time when the first measurement will be taken.
Sample interval	Interval between measurements in minutes or seconds. Seconds are available only for FU003 High Precision Logger Card.
Enable rollover	Defines the sensor operation when its measurement memory is full. If “Enable rollover” is not selected, the sensor will stop measurements. If “Enable rollover” is selected, the sensor will start overwriting the oldest data with the new data.
Password	Password protection for Transport Logger card data registers. This option is available only for FU003 High Precision Logger Card.
Alarm thresholds	Card low and high thresholds that will generate a card alarm. The low threshold value cannot be bigger than the high threshold value. These settings are not exported to the monitoring system. It is recommended to set these thresholds exactly the same as the limits in the monitoring system. If this is done, then it is possible to see the alarms already during the mission reading. The card alarm thresholds cannot be set when B3 system is used.
Rollover/Stop Time	An estimation of the time when the memory will be full. At this time measurements will stop, or rollover will occur depending on the "Enable rollover" setting.

The “Mission name” and “Mission description” can be changed at the end of the mission during Store mission.

1. After defining a mission, click “Start mission” button to start it. A message box will appear after a moment with result of operation.
