Configuration
The logging configuration is displayed as a tree. The main components are All
Devices (where the data to log is specified), Timing, Email and FTP. To expand
each tree or sub-tree, click the plus sign beside each folder.
Selecting Fields to Log
All of the data points that are available to be logged are in the All Devices branch
of the Logging Configuration tree. At the top level of the tree are all of the devices
that are currently on the network. Each device’s sub-tree shows all of the
messages the device is broadcasting. Some message types can be associated
with different connections on the device. In these cases, the connection name is
shown in brackets.
Within each message sub-tree are each of the fields that can be logged. To
select a field for logging, simply click its checkbox.
It helps to have a working knowledge of each message’s structure. Some
messages such as AcInStsRms may have repeating sequences of the same field
names. These sequences are called tuples and the first field of the tuple
identifies its meaning. For instance, in AcInStsRms, the first field of the tuple
(Line) will have the value ‘Line 1’ and the second occurrence of Line will have
‘Line 2’. These identifier fields aren’t worth logging, but they can help you find
indicate which Voltage, Current or Power field to select for logging.
The current values for the fields are shown in brackets so that you know what
type of data is being logged.
