Setting Up Logging - Emerson E2 Installation And Operation Manual

matically.
When you first create an application in the E2, you can
tell which inputs and outputs belong to the Base Log
Group: an "L" will be displayed at the right-hand side of
their definitions. The "L" is a marker that signifies that the
input or output is currently part of a logging group (either
the Base Log Group or another group as assigned by the
user). If there is no "L" beside the definition, the value is
not part of a logging group and therefore will not be
logged.
