Datalogger Instrument
=======================

The Datalogger instrument provides file logging (to CSV and Binary formats) and network streaming of time-series voltage data. It contains a built-in Waveform Generator that can control the Moku:Lab analog outputs as well.

For file logging or network streaming, use the `_data_log` or `_stream_data` type functions, respectively.

.. note:: 
	To convert *.li* binary formatted log files, use the `moku_convert` command line utility that comes with your pymoku installation. Alternatively, you can download an exectuable version `here <https://www.liquidinstruments.com/utilities/>`_.
