Assign data log groups to a job step

You can assign one or more data log groups to a job step to allow users to collect measurement data about production. For information about adding and managing data log groups, see Data logger.

When assigning a data log group to a job step, you can configure the group to acquire periodic data. You can also assign an audit certification to a data log group to require one or more qualified users to sign off on the data being logged.
