The Data Capture tab reports the temperature from the TMP118 device included on the TMP118EVM. Temperature data is polled and displayed by default. By default, the MCU polls the registers with a 100ms delay. The CONVERT TEMP command (0x44) is sent automatically while polling. The polling rate setting on the Data Capture tab is synchronized with the polling rate setting on the Registers tab. The following features of the Data Capture Tab include:

• Reading the current temperature measurement from the TMP118 displayed in the upper right corner.

• Polling Rate drop-down menu is used to disable polling or change the polling rate.
• The Save Logging and Stop Logging buttons can be used to capture Temperature data and save the data to a CSV format.

When capturing data, please remember the following:

• For the online version of the GUI, a download begins in the browser. This download is lost if the GUI is closed.
• For the offline version of the GUI, the file is appended as data is received. In this case, appended data is not lost if the GUI is closed.
