The Advanced Setup window allows you to setup the status light (LED) flashing parameters during logging. You can change the brightness and the flash frequency of the status light.
The defaults are:
LED Brightness: Dim
LED Flash Frequency: 5 Seconds
These values provide a good balance between good status indication and battery life. Since the status light uses power when lit, increasing its brightness and flash frequency will decrease the battery life. The expected battery life indicator shows how the parameters you selected affect the expected battery life.
Use the table below as a guide on how these parameters affect the battery life. The table assumes a logging interval of 1 minute and an alkaline battery.
