Section 14. Troubleshooting Guide

At Offset from Newest: This option allows you to specify how many

records back from the current write index to go. A setting of 10 in the

Start Offset box will display the last 10 records collected.

The Start File Mark, Start Record Number, Start Offset, Begin Date, and Offset

from Newest edit boxes are used only with the corresponding start options

above. For each option selected, the appropriate boxes are enabled.

Order Option:

Collected: displays and writes the data to the file in the order it was

collected by the server. This setting is useful to look at the actual data

record storage in the data cache.

Logged With Holes: The output will include only complete data

sequences. If the Data Table Monitor comes to a hole that has not yet been

filled, it will wait for the hole to fill before displaying or writing the next

record to the file.

Logged Without Holes: The data output will be displayed and written to

file as quickly as it is collected, without waiting for holes to be filled. Any

data in holes will be skipped in the output.

Real Time: the most recent data is always sent out starting with the last

record stored. This will not provide a complete data set.

Set the output file directory and name in the Export File box. The Browse

button will bring up a Windows Save As dialog box to select the file name and

directory.

File Format:

TOACI1 – Data is stored in a comma separated format. Header

information for each of the columns is included.

TOA5 – Data is stored in a comma separated format. Header information

for each of the columns is included, along with field names and units of

measure if they are available.

TOB1 (binary) – Data is stored in a binary format. Though this format

saves disk storage space, it must be converted before it is usable in other

programs.

XML – Data is stored in XML format with Campbell Scientific defined

elements and attributes. For additional information, refer to Appendix B,

Campbell Scientific File Formats.

Once the start options have been set, click the OK button to start. The records

are displayed in the list box on the bottom of the screen. If you have set up an

output file they are also sent to the output file.
