Advanced log setup and memory optimization
You can configure your meter's logs to help ensure the integrity of critical data and to optimize the
meter's memory usage.
Before you configure your meter's logs, it is important to understand how logging functions and
how the settings work together.
NOTE: Configuring your meter's logs requires an in-depth understanding of the meter's
memory, how the logs function and the data you are capturing.
Viewing log configuration and memory usage information
You can use ION Setup to view log settings and memory usage information for your meter's
default logs.
This information can help you understand your log usage and how to optimize your logging
configuration for your situation.
1. Start ION Setup.
2. Open the Setup Assistant for your meter.
3. Click Logging > Memory screen.
The Status tab:
Log depth configuration
You can change the number of records (depth) stored in the log.
Use ION Setup to change the maximum number of records (depth) stored in the log in the meter's
long-term memory.
Data logs and circular-format waveform recorders have a minimum depth of 1 record. The
maximum depth is dependent on your meter's memory and the configuration of your other logs.
