Datalog History
The IMS-4000 can log up to 62,500 samples of environmental and IP Alarm history. When the log
fills, it will overwrite the oldest data first. Environmental data will display the actual value, while
IP Alarm data will display either Normal, Timed Out, or IP Down. All stored history is logged at the
same interval as programmed on the History programming screen. To set up the Datalog History,
right-click on History from the IMS menu tree and select Properties. Enter the Interval time and
click the Enable box. This will start the Datalog feature. The Datalog will store Environmental and
IP Alarm values if datalogging is enabled on their respective programming screens.

Viewing History
Datalog History can be viewed through the ConsoleView software or via the IMS web page. It can
be viewed through the ConsoleView software in two ways: There is the quick view which can be
displayed by right-clicking on an input or profile and selecting History, or you can perform a query
on the entire history database using the HistoryView program (right-click on History in the menu
tree and select HistoryView, or from the main menu select File, then HistoryView).
History QuickView
You can display a quick view of an input or profile by simply right-clicking on the item and
selecting History. This will provide an event listing and graph of the input over the last 24 hours
(default). You can change the amount of history displayed to several hours or several days by
changing the setting on the Options screen under the File menu. A sample is shown below:

Querying the History Database with HistoryView
The HistoryView program allows you to query the entire History database for all IMS units. There
are filters to select Samples, Alarms, System messages, or User Logins. You can view data from an
IMS Host and its associated Nodes combined, or individually. You can also graph sampled data.
