minimum change that requires logging. For example, the logging
period may be set to 1 hour and the minimum change to 100. The
input will be checked every hour and logged if it has changed by at
least 100 from the last logged value. (To log the data every hour,
simply set the minimum change to 0.)
While the logging period is shared by all analog inputs, counter
inputs, and system monitors, each input has its own programmable
minimum change setting.
If logging of an analog input, a counter input, or a system monitor is
enabled, it will be logged automatically every midnight. This ensures
that at least one sample is recorded every day, even with slowly
varying inputs.
Utility meter inputs are logged every logging period, regardless of the
amount by which they change. Please refer to Appendix A: ADS
Spider Inputs on page 83 for a summary of input types.
Automatic Reports (if installed)
The ADS Spider can be set up to send periodic reports via e-mail
and/or FTP.
E-mail reports are sent to up to three recipients. FTP reports are sent
to a user-specified FTP server.
Each report is a spreadsheet file containing data logged over the
required period.
The advantage of automatic reports is in the Spider
’
s ability to
automatically deliver logged data without user intervention.
An automatic report containing all data logged in the current day can
be requested at any time by sending the
‘

text message
command to the Spider.
