Realtime Comms logging
Left click on the
Realtime
icon from the tool bar down the left side of
the main screen. This will produce the
Recorders pane
displaying
the recorders that are available on the comms server. From here the
user can also see which server the comms server is using, which
pens are available on each recorder and the comms server status.
The instructions listed here include selecting a destination server and database.
Right click on the recorder and select
Log
to produce the
Logging Configura-
tion
window. The same window is in the Comms Server.
Designate a destination server i.e.
Local Server
being your own PC, and a
destination database to store the logged data.
Select a pen from the ‘Pens available to be logged’ window and the
Add Pen
to Selection
button will be enabled, OR
Select
All Pens
and the
Logging Pens Configuration
box will appear.
Select
Log Rate
from 20milliseconds up to 24 hours and the
Type
of logged
data, choose from
Sample
or
MaxMin
. Sample will log the actual data value
of the last sampled reading. MaxMin will log the maximum and minimum val-
ues since the last log.
Click on the
Send Event Data
if you require the event data to be logged.
Click on the
Start Logging
button when complete. This will enable the logging
to the designated database.
The window will now display the name of the database, which pens are being
logged, the log interval and the type of logging.
To view the database go to the
Recorder
icon down the left side of the main
screen, and select the database designated for that recorder.
Add pens for logging
As each pen is selected, or all pens depending on the button selected, the Log-
ging Pen Configuration box appears so the Log Rate and Type of logging can be set
for each pen individually or all pens.
When the pens have been selected they will appear in the bottom window, click
on Apply to enable the pens to log. Once the pens are in the ‘Pens logging to
selected database’ window they can be selected and the Edit and Delete button
become active. The Edit button allows the logging rate or type of logging to be
changed.
There is also a Database Events Logging tick box that allows any events to be
logged to the database.
Summary of Logging Changes
- If any changes are made using the Edit button,
the Summary of Changes button becomes active, this will show the last changes
made to any of the pens for this configuration only.
The Delete button will take the pen out of this window and put it into the window
showing available pens for logging. Logging will stop for this pen.
