Log File Configuration
The Log File Configuration screen reveals
all log file configurations available on
the System 5000
™
regardless of whether
they are being used by existing Tasks.
Configurations are completely separate
from log files themselves. A configuration
simply defines how data will be recorded
to a log file. If a log file configuration
is removed, the log file will remain,
however, all logging to that file will cease.
Configurations are typically created
automatically via the Log To File Output,
detailed in Chapter 6, and can only be
removed using this screen. Logging can
also be enabled or disabled for individual
configurations via the Disable/Enable Log
function button.
Config Options
New configurations can be created and selected configurations can be edited or removed
through the New, Edit, and Remove buttons. New configurations will contain the Date and Time
variables by default. Both the New and Edit buttons will open the Log File Properties screen,
explained in Chapter 6, allowing simple viewing or changes and updates to be made to the
configurations. The Remove button removes only the configuration, discontinuing further
logging to that file, but does not delete the actual file. Actual file operations can be accomplished
through the Data File Manager.
File Options
The actual Log File defined by the selected configuration can be viewed by pressing the View
button.
Tasks Overview
The Tasks Overview screen provides a succinct view of created Tasks, their related rates, and
their associated Input and Outputs. Extended information is also provided, including the Start
Time of a Task (typically the beginning of each day), as well as the Last Measurement and Value.
By default, only the Task names with their Scan Rates and Inputs are shown. To view the Outputs
associated with each Task, simply select the row of a Task and it will expand. To quickly Expand or
Collapse all Tasks, press the Expand All function button.
