Overview

This is a sample client application that starts C-LOGGER.
When learning how to use the C-LOGGER SDK, we recommend that you read this sample first.

Before running this sample, make the following preparations.

A support device must be installed in the Windows OS in advance.
If you do not have a support device at hand, you can register the "AIO Demo Device" in Windows OS to check the operation of the C-LOGGER.
For how to install the "AIO Demo Device," refer to API-TOOL(WDM) Help "Home > Setup Driver Environment > Installing Hardware Device > Install DEMO DEVICE ".

In addition, make device settings and channel settings on the C-LOGGER, and confirm that data can be input from the device.
When the device is operating normally, save the collection conditions to a file on a local drive.

1. Initialize

 - When you execute the sample program, the main screen appears.
  Specify the start size of C-LOGGER in screen. (Minimize, Normal, Maximize)
