When the channel ordered format is used, the data string is not
composed directly according to the default format string. All the
values of the first data item are sent one after another according to
the format string section between the first and the second %
character. After this, a line-feed is automatically inserted and then
all the values of the next data item are sent according to the next
part of the format string. Note that if a space is required as the field
separator for the last data item, the format string must end with a
space. For the channel ordered example report above, the
formatting would be as follows:

%[////]4.1f %[///]3.0f %[//////]6.1f

Set the timing and the amount of data. In each transmission, all the
data in the latest records of the log group is sent. The log group
saving interval, the number of records included in each
transmission, and the transmission interval must all be set to match
each other. For example, if data is logged at a 10-minute interval
and the transmission is performed every four hours, each
transmission will include the 24 latest data record, which are 10-
minute data values within 4 hours. In this case, the timing
parameters would be set as follows:

-

In the Logging view, under Log groups set the Interval to
600 seconds (=10 minutes).

-

Under the Reporting tab, select 24 in the Records field. It is
the number of records included in each transmission.

-

The transmission interval is set to 4 hours with the spset
goes_interval command. For information on how to set the
transmission interval, see section

Transmission Control for

Primary Transmissions on page 175

.

5.

Create the primary report. In the Reports view, create a new report
using the StringForm template and add the orderData variable
from the HistServer component to it. This variable includes the
scan ordered or channel ordered data string that was set up in the
log group.
