Data logging will occur at the interval set in the MATE3 Data Logging screen shown in Figure 153 on
page 122. Data logging to the MATE3 internal flash memory is stored for up to one year's worth of logs.
Data logs can be downloaded selectively to the SD card (as needed) or automatically to the SD card. The
interval for automatic downloading to the SD Card can also be set at intervals from 1 to 60 seconds.
 For instructions on downloading data logs for the charge controller, see Figure 168 on page 139.
 For instructions on downloading data logs for the FLEXnet DC Battery Monitor, see Figure 169 on page 140.
Data Log File Format
Information generated by this function will be saved on the SD card in a generic .csv file format, which can
be read by most spreadsheet programs. The file name on the .csv file will appear as follows:
Example: 11062722.csv (YYMMDDHR.csv)
Where: YY = Last 2 digits of the year, MM = Month (01-12), DD = Day (01-31), HR = Hour (00-23)
