Outputs
The function of an Output is to log data (Meta Items or sensor values). You can set up multiple Outputs, writing different sets of data to different files during an Event Individual Meta Items / sensor values are known as the elements of the Output. During an event the Logger logs its elements as a set of time stamped values.
Outputs may be individually started, stopped and restarted during an event. Once started, logging may be continuous (elements are written periodically) or a snapshot (only one set of elements is written, then the Output is stopped). Both types of Outputs are controlled (Start/Stop/Update) via the Output Action inside an Action Sequence.

The Property Pane for an Output contains a few unique inputs.
First you must choose whether you want this Output to continuously write data at a set interval. If so choose the Continuous Output Mode and supply an Interval (eg if you wanted it to log its data 1x every second then you should increment the seconds field to 1).
If you would rather the Output only record a line of data when prompted to do so then choose Discrete / Snapshot.
As stated above, to start or stop a Continuous Output or update a Discrete / Snapshot Output you must use the Output action inside an Action Sequence.
Above you decide on how often you want the Output to log. In the Data to Log section you select what exactly it is you want the Output to record.
Click the Manage button to bring up lists of respective data items to add to this output. When the Output is started it will log each of these items at the interval you specify until it is stopped. Or if it's a Discrete/Snapshot Output it will log each of these data items every time an Update action targets it.
