5.0 Logs

5.1 Introduction

A log is used to collect and format data for use in reports and spreadsheet calculations. Two types of
group-wide logs are available on the Micro-PWC:

Event Logs

Spreadsheet Logs

Logs are distributed to all Micro-PWCs in the same console group.

Event logs are used to examine the Historical Database and create lists of all events which occurred within
a specific time span.

Spreadsheet logs are used to obtain data from, change, and put data into the Global database, and to load
the data into spreadsheets, allowing you to format, store, and perform calculations using live process data.

Spreadsheet log configuration is performed using Microsoft

®

Excel.

Spreadsheet logs are synchronized on a console group basis; that is, a spreadsheet log can be configured
or changed on any Micro-PWC in a console group, and the resulting changes will be copied to (synchro-
nized with) all other Micro-PWCs in that console group, regardless of system type. This practice permits
backup of the information from any node. Note that only the configuration data which corresponds to the
type of spreadsheet on the local node (i.e., Microsoft Excel) will be useful locally.

NOTES

Logs are sent to a printer device when generated. If a “printer” has
been configured with a Device Type of “File” (see the Micro-PWC
Configuration Guide
, or your system administrator), logs configured
to print to that printer will actually be sent to that file, rather than to
an actual hard copy printer.

Printers used to print scheduled logs must support PostScript.
