These changes take effect immediately, but only apply to the current logging session.
When you stop and restart logging, FactoryTalk View uses the logging rate and log file
identifier specified for the data log model.
For details about the DataLogChangeRate and DataLogRenameFile commands, see the
FactoryTalk View Site Edition Help.
Starting and stopping data logging
There are many ways to start and stop data logging. Choose the way that works best for
the application.
To provide operators with a way to start and stop data logging, use FactoryTalk View
commands and macros in conjunction with graphic objects. For details about FactoryTalk
View command syntax, see the FactoryTalk View Site Edition Help.
In the following methods, <component> represents the name of a data log model.
Ways to start data logging
To start data logging, use one of these methods:
 In the HMI Server Properties dialog box, click the Components tab, select the Data
Logging check box, and then specify a data log model.
The data log model will run the next time the HMI server runs, or when the HMI
server’s components are started manually.
 In the Macros editor, create a macro that contains the command, DataLogOn
<component>. In the HMI Server Properties dialog box, click the Components tab,
select the Macro check box, and then specify the macro.
The specified data log model will run when the HMI server runs. To start more than
one data log model, specify multiple DataLogOn <component> commands in the
macro.
 In the Graphics editor, open the Display Settings dialog box, and then click the
Behavior tab. In the Startup box, type DataLogOn <component>.
 In the Graphics editor, create a button object and then specify DataLogOn
<component> as the button’s press action. When the button is pressed, the command
runs.
 In the Graphics editor, create a graphic object and attach touch animation to it, using
DataLogOn <component> in the Action box. When the object is touched, data
logging starts for the specified model.
