2.  Enter a note into the text box.

Log files are stored by the StarLab application as tab-delimited text files. Two 
file formats are available in the software, “Standard” and “Excel Friendly”, 
which differ only in the way the timestamp is recorded in the file. 

This is the format used in older versions of the USBI application, and is retained 
in newer versions of StarLab for backwards compatibility. It is the default 
option. In this format, the timestamp is recorded as hours, minutes, seconds, and 
fractions of a second. For example: 12:34:56.789 (for the USBI, Nova-II or Vega 
devices, or with the Pulsar and Quasar devices using Thermopile and Photodiode 
heads), where 12 is the hours, 34 is the minutes, 56 is the seconds, and 789 is the 
fraction of a second. For the Pulsar and Quasar devices using Pyroelectric and 
PD10 heads, the timestamp appears as 12:34:56.789321, where 789321 is the 
fraction of a second with microsecond precision. 

This format should be used when using Excel to process data stored in the log 
files. In this format, the timestamp is recorded in seconds and fractions of a 
second, in a manner more suited to Excel than the Standard format. For example: 
45240.789 (for the USBI, Nova-II or Vega devices, or with the Pulsar and 
Quasar devices using Thermopile and Photodiode heads) where 45240 is the 
number of whole seconds (equaling 12 hours and 34 minutes), and 789 is the 
fraction of a second. For the Pulsar and Quasar devices using Pyroelectric and 
PD10 heads, the timestamp appears as 45240.789321, where 789321 is the 
fraction of a second with microsecond precision.
