3.12 Data Logging Configuration

Note. The data logging option is no longer available. Data logging information has been retained in this publication for reference
purposes only.
Trend pen channel data values and the contents of the totalizer log (if the totalizer option is enabled by installation of the appropriate
software key) can be saved to a Compact Flash card if the optional data logging hardware is installed and data logging is on-line.
Logged data is compatible with the Company's DataManager data analysis software package. DataManager is a Microsoft® Excel
add-in that enables the analysis and validation of the recorder's pen channel data values and log files on a PC.
Note.

The recorder is not equipped with an internal memory therefore recorded pen channel data values are lost if a Compact
Flash card with sufficient available free space is not inserted.

Logging starts automatically when a card is inserted and continues until either the card is removed or becomes full.

The content of the totalizer log (if the totalizer option is enabled by installation of the appropriate software key) is saved
automatically to the Compact Flash card when data logging is on-line.

Event pen data is not logged.
File Types
Files created by the recorder are given filenames automatically. Each type of file is given a different filename extension as shown in

Data Verification and Integrity
Each block of data in the pen channel data files has its own data integrity check. This enables the integrity of the data stored on the
Compact Flash card to be verified when it is viewed using the DataManager software.
Totalizer log files also contain built-in integrity checks enabling the integrity of the data to be verified by the DataManager software.
