Starting and Stopping the Log 
Starting and Stopping the Log  
This section explains how to start and stop saving data to a log file. 
Starting the Log 
To start the log: 
1.  Click 
 in the Logging Area. The Start Log button toggles to 
Pause and a logging progress bar appears at the bottom of the Logging 
Area  
Note: No changes can be made to the settings in the Measurement 
Parameters or Graph Configuration Areas for the duration of the log 
process. 
Pausing the Log 
To pause the log: 
1.  Click 
 in the Logging Area. The Pause button toggles to Reset and 
the logging progress bar freezes. 
Stopping the Log 
To stop the log: 
1.  Click 
 in the Logging Area. StarLab will stop saving data to the 
log file. The Pause button toggles to Start Log and the logging progress 
bar disappears. 
Using Turbo Mode 
Although pyroelectric and PD10 heads can measure laser pulses fired at high 
frequencies, in standard logging mode the StarLab software can measure every 
pulse only when firing below a certain frequency. At higher laser frequencies, 
the USBI, Pulsar and Quasar are not capable of logging every pulse, but rather 
will log a sample of the measurements at a lower rate.  
Therefore, the StarLab software provides a special log mode called Turbo Mode, 
which allows logging every pulse up to higher pulse rates. 
Note: Turbo Mode always measures energy, even if the power mode is on. 
For the exact pulse rates at which every pulse can be logged using Turbo Mode, 
refer to Table 1-1 and Table 1-2. When logging in Turbo Mode the rest of the 
StarLab application is unavailable. 
For the USBI, Nova-II  and Vega devices, Turbo mode is available only for 
metallic pyroelectric and PD10 heads configured for short pulse measurement.
