Email Data Logs
The meter can email logged data daily, hourly, or at any interval your ION
software administrator configures. The logged data does not appear in the body
of an email; the information is contained in an email attachment instead. The
following illustration shows how an email sent by the Log Export module appears
in your inbox:
You can gather some information from the email without opening the attachment.
The From column displays which Log Export module and meter sent the email (the
meter is identified by its serial number). The Subject column tells you which Data
Recorder is responsible for logging the data. The attachment has a unique filename
which incorporates the meter’s serial number.
The email attachment is an eXtensible Markup Language (XML) document. Even
though XML is a machine readable format meant to be processed by another
program, you can still interpret the information contained within an attachment (see
the illustration on page 237). This information can be taken from the XML
attachment:
the name of the data log
the device (meter) type
the meter’s serial number
the meter’s owner
additional user-defined meter identification information labelled “Tag1” and
“Tag2”
the record number
the UTC (Universal Coordinated Time) that the data was recorded
the names of the logged data fields (e.g. Vln a, Vln b, Vln c)
the numeric values of the logged data
A unique attachment
