To start a mission:

1. Connect a card to the transport logger reader.
2. Click <img src="/files/sS52mJ3ufsftkRrafwSs" alt="" data-size="line"> icon in the top menu or “Start Mission” button at the bottom.

In such a case check the reader and card connection.

To store the previous mission data follow the instructions in [Store mission](/logger-card-client-user-manual/store-mission.md) chapter.

If you do not want to store the existing data, click OK to open the card settings form.

5. If the card does not contain any unsaved data, the card settings form is opened immediately.

<table><thead><tr><th width="162">Parameter</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Sensor ID</td><td>Sensor serial number that is read and filled in automatically. <br>The same number is printed on the Logger Card.</td></tr><tr><td>Type</td><td>Type of sensor that is read and filled in automatically.</td></tr><tr><td>Name</td><td>Mission name (max. 64 characters). The content of this field is copied into the mission export comment.</td></tr><tr><td>Description</td><td>Mission description (max. 256 characters). The content of this field is copied into the mission export comment.</td></tr><tr><td>Start mission</td><td><p>There are two options:</p><ul><li>Start mission after minutes is a delay in minutes from the mission start to the first measurement.</li><li>Start mission at specific time sets the date and time when the first measurement will be taken.</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td>Sample interval</td><td>Interval between measurements in minutes or seconds.<br> Seconds are available only for FU003 High Precision Logger Card.</td></tr><tr><td>Enable rollover</td><td>Defines the sensor operation when its measurement memory is full. <br>If “Enable rollover” is not selected, the sensor will stop measurements. <br>If “Enable rollover” is selected, the sensor will start overwriting the oldest data with the new data.</td></tr><tr><td>Password</td><td>Password protection for Transport Logger card data registers.<br> This option is available only for FU003 High Precision Logger Card.</td></tr><tr><td>Alarm thresholds</td><td>Card low and high thresholds that will generate a card alarm.<br>The low threshold value cannot be bigger than the high threshold value. These settings are not exported to the monitoring system. <br>It is recommended to set these thresholds exactly the same as the limits in the monitoring system. <br>If this is done, then it is possible to see the alarms already during the mission reading. <br>The card alarm thresholds cannot be set when B3 system is used.</td></tr><tr><td>Rollover/Stop Time</td><td>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.</td></tr></tbody></table>

The “Mission name” and “Mission description” can be changed at the end of the mission during [Store mission](/logger-card-client-user-manual/store-mission.md).

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