Manual Data logging
You may either download data files automatically, or manually. To download automatically, click
the Disable radio button, and set up the schedule in the Auto Reporting page (See Section 6.28).
To download manually, click the Enable radio button, then go to the bottom of the page and click
the Submit Datalog Details button.
Note that if you have an automatic data log building, and you click the Enable radio button to
download data manually, the filtered set of data previously gathered will be lost!
You will now see additional menus, which allow you to set the start date and end date of the
manual log, as well as the frequency of logging data points. Type the desired values in the text
boxes. You will also get a button on the bottom of the page, Manual Download, which will initiate
the downloading process of this file. You will be presented with the standard Windows dialog box,
asking you what the file should be named and where you want the file to go.

parameters that you want to log, and the “No” radio buttons of the parameters that you do not want
to log.
Click on the “Submit” button to save the changes.
