Log Files
To set up a data log file, follow these steps:
Step No.
1 From the Log Files page, select the file location (RAM0 or
FLASH0) and enter a file name. The file name must be eight
characters or less and the extension must be .txt. An example file
name is DataLog1.txt.
2 Select the Enable Logging checkbox.
3 Enter in a log rate in the format of HH:MM:SS.
4 Select the criteria for beginning a new file.
5 Select the option to discard the oldest files with the listed file
prefix or to stop logging completely when the system resources
are filled.
6 To e-mail the completed file, fill in an e-mail recipient and enter
an optional subject and message.
7 Click the Update button to submit these changes to the
SureCross™ device.
8 Go to the Data Points page and select which registers to record
to each data log file set up in the Log Files page. Use the Prev
and Next buttons to move between network devices. Click the
Update button to submit these changes to the SureCross device.
Go to the Events Logged page to select which events to log to
the event log files set up in the Log Files page. Click the Update
button to submit these changes to the SureCross device.
Once data logging begins, the log files are listed in the File List page. Click on the file name to view the text file contents. To save this text file,
either right-click on the file link and select Save Link As or click on the file name to view it, then go to File, Save Page As. Use the browser's
Refresh button to show the latest entry or entries recorded into the Log file. To delete files, select the checkbox in front of the unnecessary files

Description
Files saved in RAM0 will be lost when the power cycles to the
device. Files saved in FLASH0 are saved until they are deleted.
The name entered in the File Name field is a prefix. The system
appends this file name with a date and time stamp. When the
first log file is filled, a second log file using the same prefix and a
new date and time stamp is created.
For data logs, leaving the log rate set to zero disables logging.
Because event logs trigger when an event occurs, the log rate is
not used for event logs.
Choose between When Full, a specific day of the week, or Daily.
Choose to begin a new file at a specific time or a specific file
size. Once the file fills up, a new file is created.
If the Discard Oldest option is selected, only the oldest files with
the listed file prefix are deleted.
After making any changes to a page, click the Update button to
submit that data to the SureCross device. If you leave a page
without clicking the Update button, the changes are lost.
The register names are taken from the I/O Names entered in the
RF Devices > Configure Points page.
The events listed are the events set up in the System > Action
Rules > Thresholds page.
