Panasonic HMWIN User Manual page 104

The external drives plugged on the USB port of the panel must have format FAT or FAT32. NTFS
NOTE
format is not supported.
In the Macro Properties, you need to configure the Event buffer name that you want to dump and the
destination folder path. The DumpConfigFile property must be set to true when you plan to convert the
dumped files to CSV.
DumpAsCSV
If this option is set to true, the buffer will be directly dumped to the specified location as a *.CSV file. If it is
set as false, then the dump of the trend file will be in binary format an external tool is then required to convert
it to a CSV format.
DateTimePrefixFileName
When this option is enabled the dumped file will have the Date and Time as prefix to the name of the file.
For example if we are making a Dump at 10.10AM on 1-1-2012, then the file name will look like
D2012_01_01_T10_10_alarmBuffer1.csv. [DYear_Month_day_THour_Minute_Filename]
This helps to know the Time at which the Dump was made and also to identify which one is the latest
This option is only supported when exporting to CSV directly.
NOTE
timeSpec
This option defines the time format used when dumping the event archive to file.

Local: the time values exported are the time of the HMI device.

Global: the time values exported are in the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) format.
Example:

Local

Global
When exporting Event buffers in binary format assuming the DumpConfigFile option is set to true
(recommended settings), the result of the dump action execution is 2 folders; one is called "data" and it
contains the data files, the second one is called "config" and it does contain the configuration files needed by
the tool to recover the complete information for proper conversion to CSV.
Once the two folders are copied from the root of the USB drive to the computer disk, the folder structure will
look as follows:
.\config\
alarms.xml
eventconfig.xml
.\data\
AlarmBuffer1.dat
AlarmBuffer1.inf
.\
AlarmBufferReader.exe
The utility is distributed in HMWIN Studio in the folder Panasonic\HMWIN\Utils.
NOTE
The AlarmBufferReader can be called from command line with the following syntax:
AlarmBufferReader AlarmBuffer1 FILE ./AlarmBuffer1.csv
Where AlarmBuffer1 is the name of the dumped .dat file without extension and AlarmBuffer1.csv is the
desired output file name.
