Formatting the Software log:

The software log consists of four elements. These are:

-Log header gets printed once per log file. Carriage return is automatically appended.

-Header get printed once per each entry. Carriage return is NOT automatically appended, therefore, to separate

Header from data block, insert a carriage return. Under normal circumstances, carriage return in the Footer should be

present AFTER the footer text.

-Data block is printed for each channel and only special operators should be used here (because of the iteration). Of

course you may add any other text or operator here but the data block will get printed 8 times to 32 times (Depending on

how many channels you have) per each log entry.

-Footer get printed once per each entry. Carriage return is NOT automatically appended, therefore, to separate

Footer from Data block, insert a carriage return. Under normal circumstances, carriage return in the Footer should be

present BEFORE the footer text.

In addition to the user defined formatting options, HTML logs also display alarm colors (if any) as the background for

individual readings within a log entry. For text based logs, users can define symbols such as * and # to denote alarmed

conditions within a log entry.

Log Formatting Operators:

%sitename = Current site name

%timestamp = Date/Time

The following can be used only in the data block:

%mtrname Meter name for each of the channels

%mtrvalue Meter value for each of the channels

%statname Status name for each of the channels

%statvalue Status value for each of the channels

Examples:

Log Header: "==============================="

Header: "%sitename %timestamp" with CRLF on the end

Data: "{%mtrname: %mtrvalue %statname: %statvalue}" with CRLF on the end

Footer: ""

Carriage Return and Line Feeds are entered by pressing the enter key. You will notice that each line of the log

configuration form has up and down arrows so you are really looking at a single line at a time of a form that can have

multiple lines.
