computer or a network server. While the program defaults to saving the history database on your
local drive, if the system will be used by many users it may be advantageous to store the database
on a network drive. To specify the drive for saving History information click File, then Options
from the main menu. A sample screen is shown below:
Figure 53: History Options
To change the location for storing the History database, click the folder button on the right side of
the screen and choose a new location. The location you select will be displayed to the left.
Use the up or down buttons to select the amount of history to be viewed when accessing the History
option through the right-click menus in the ConsoleView software. This provides a quick view
of the history for a particular Input or Profile. The default time is 24 hours (1 day). Clicking the
arrows will increase or decrease the data time by days.
Analog input values will automatically be graphed when viewing History through the right-click
menus of the ConsoleView software. You can choose to have the graphed data displayed as a line
graph or simply show the discrete data points.
You can also deselect the Automatically Update buttons if you don’t want the Datalog or Eventlog
to download each time you connect. If you are using a dialup connection, you may want to disable
these functions to speed up the software loading process. (You can manually download the logs as
desired by right-clicking on History in the menu tree.)
Datalog History
The RIM-600 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 RIM-600 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.
