Data Logging:
Selection Tab -> Data Log
This page allows the user access to a
data logger feature that will operate
only when a PC running the GUI is
connected and available to the
controller.
The Data logger will record several key
pieces of information that can be used
as a data point after commissioning or
sent as a file to help with remote fault
diagnosis.
The window offers the user an
opportunity to select a filename and
storage path for the log file for
convenience.
The Data Log is started by the user
clicking the ‘Start Logging’ button.
The data logger will continue to run until the user clicks the ‘Start Logging’ button once more. At this point, the
file will be closed.
The user also has an enlarged and extended resolution graphing window on this tab that can be used for
looking in detail at particular trends or measurements within the controller.
The file type will be saves as *.LOG and may be viewed by any text editor or copied directly into Excel for
examination.
The user should be cautious when using this LOG function as the files can become very large if logging is left
to continue for long periods, making the files difficult to read and manage.
Experience has shown us that several smaller logs over adjacent periods are easier to manipulate and view as
graphical data.
The user can also view the controller operation via the graph window as well as note any change on state or
error that is presented by observing the ‘Status’ window text if the scroll option is turned ON.
While in this tab, the user can switch to any other tab by selecting it from the top of the page.
