Section 8. Datalogger Program Creation with Edlog

In this example from a mixed-array datalogger, the final storage output data for
Array ID 112 is shown. Each of the columns indicate the essential
characteristics of the data value being stored.

− Array ID or Table Name identifies the set of output data instructions the

data is associated with. For mixed-array dataloggers the array ID is at the
beginning of each output record. In table-based dataloggers, the table
name shows the name of the table where the data values will be stored.

− Output Instruction lists the output instruction that was used to store the

data value.

− Line Number is the line number in the Edlog program for the output

instruction.

− Final Storage Label is the label that is associated with this final storage

value. Red labels are associated with automatically created data entries
such as time stamps and record numbers. The red labels cannot be
changed with the Final Storage Label Editor. The green labels are
associated with user programmed sensor data. To change the label, click
in the box and type in the new label.

− Resolution shows whether the data will be stored in low or high resolution.

(High resolution stores data as a 4-byte floating point number, Low
resolution uses a 2-byte number)

− Inloc Name is the label of the input location that the final storage data is

based on.

− Inloc Address is the numeric label for the input location used for the final

storage data value.

If changes are made to measurement or output instructions after
custom final storage labels have been created, you should review
the custom final storage labels to make sure the correct labels are
still assigned to the desired output values. Some program
changes involving an increase or decrease in input locations or
output values could cause a label to no longer correspond with
the value being output.

NOTE

The final storage labels created by Edlog can be restored by selecting the menu
item Edit | Restore Default Labels from the Final Storage Label Editor menu.

8.4 Datalogger Settings Stored in the DLD File

Certain settings for the datalogger, which are normally accessed through the
datalogger’s * modes, can be included in the DLD file. These settings include
options such as program security, final storage allocation, the type of labels
saved in the DLD file, power up and compilation settings, and PakBus address
and router settings. When the new program is downloaded to the datalogger
and compiled, the settings will take affect. These settings are accessed using
Edlog’s Options menu.
