6.28 Auto Reporting
There are two types of reports that may be sent to you automatically. One is a system summary
report, which will contain all of the information that is found on the System Summary page. This
includes sensor readings and 4-20 mA inputs with a 24 hour minimum, maximum and average
calculated, relay status, point level status, flow switch status, water meter totals, and alarms. This
report may be sent by email.
The other type of automatic report is a data log report. This report will email a data log file of any
parameters that you selected in the Data Logging page. This file may be opened in a spreadsheet
for graphing or other data manipulation. This report may be sent on a cyclical schedule or over a
specific date range.
System Status Reporting
Click the appropriate radio button to enable or disable the system status report feature.
Data Log Reporting
Click the appropriate radio button to enable or disable the data log report feature.
Log File
Click on the link called Log to manually download the Report log. This log details the date and
time of the report, which type of report was sent, how the report was sent (email via modem or
email via Ethernet), if the report was sent successfully or not, and if not, what the problem was.
You will be presented with the standard Windows dialog box, asking if you want to open the file
or save it. If it’s to be saved, it asks what the file should be named and where you want the file to
go.
System Status Reporting, Send Via
Click the appropriate radio button to select whether the report should be sent by email.
System Status Reporting, Status
This menu is informational only, telling you when the next report is due to be sent.
System Status Reporting, Reporting Mode
Click the appropriate radio button to select a Daily, Weekly, Biweekly, or Monthly report
frequency. Type the time of day for receiving the report in the text boxes, and use the pull down
menus to select the desired day, and to select AM or PM.
Important: If this unit is part of a network of controllers, you must stagger the reports from each
controller in the network to occur at least an hour apart. Failure to do this could result in lost
reports!
Report Testing
Click the Test Reporting button to see if the report will be sent correctly. The fax number or email
address entered in the Communications page will be used. If you haven’t already entered this
information, go the Communications page and do so before trying a test report.
