DATA LOG [9]
Express II has two logging features, the Input Log
and the Activity Log. The Data Log features require
the use of a printer with a serial port. If either data
log is enabled, Express II will send information to the
serial port to be printed via the RS232 socket located
to the right of the phone jack and above the orange
terminal block at the bottom of the unit.
1. Input/Output Log—Logs the input (or output)
values on a user-defined basis. The menu offers four
choices:
1. Enable/Disable: 1=disable; 2=enable
2. Time between logs: set the hours, minutes,
and seconds. The minimum allowed time is 5
seconds; the maximum is 12 hours, 59 minutes,
59 seconds.
3. Number of inputs: the maximum this can be
set to is 40.
4. Line length: this determines the number of
characters that a data log printout will allow on
each line. The default setting is 80 characters
per line. Check your printer setup before
changing this number.
2. Activity Log—Logs limited system and alarm
activity. This includes alarms occurring and clearing,
acknowledgments, any call-ins to the unit and alarm
dial-outs.
NOTE: Once datalogging is enabled, the system will
automatically default to an RS232 rate of 9600 baud.
If your target printer is not configured to 9600 baud,
refer to your printer manual to adjust the printer’s
baud rate. (See also “Unit configuration” in the follow-
ing section.)
