4.2.4.4.3 Final Storage Area 1 and 2 Tab (Edlog Dataloggers with Mixed-array Operating
System)
Mixed-array dataloggers include the 21X, CR500, CR510, CR10, CR10X,
21X, CR23X, and CR7. When the datalogger program stores data in a mixed-
array datalogger, the data arrays are stored in a final storage area. Some
dataloggers, such as the CR10X, have two final storage areas while others,
such as the 21X, have only one. This tab is used to define the output file name
and location, the data file format and other output options for the data stored in
the final storage area.
Enabled for Collection – The specified final storage area will be included in
the collected data if this box is checked.
Output File Name – This is the name and directory path for the output file
where the final storage data will be saved after being collected from the
datalogger during manual data collection from the Connect Screen or during
scheduled data collection.
Use Default File Name – Checking this box will set the collected data file
name to the default value, which consists of the name of the station and
number of the final storage area.
File Output Option – This option allows you to choose whether new data
collected from the station is appended to the data file, overwrites the old data in
the data file, or is not stored to a data file. The default option is to append to
the data file so the old data is not lost. If the data file is used only for a real-
time display or such that only the last data collected is needed, overwrite can
be used to replace the old data with the new collected data. If the data is only
going to be used within LoggerNet for display on the Connect Screen graph or
numeric display, or for RTMC, you can choose no output file and a limited
amount of data will be kept in LoggerNet’s internal data cache.
Output Format – Select the format for the output file.
− ASCII, Comma separated writes data to the file in ASCII text format one
record per line with commas between the data values. This file can be
opened in LoggerNet View, a text editor, processed using Split, or brought
into a spreadsheet application.
− ASCII, Printable writes data to the file in ASCII text format separated
into columns separated by tabs. The column number precedes each data
value in the record. Only 80 characters will be placed on each line,
columns that don’t fit the 80 characters are placed on the next line. This
file format can be opened in LoggerNet View, a text editor, or processed
using Split. See the example data file below.
