You can also deselect the Automatically Update buttons if you don’t want the Datalog or Eventlog to download each time you

The IMS-4000 can log up to 62,500 samples of environmental and IP Alarm history. When the log fills, it will overwrite the
oldest data first. Environmental data will display the actual value, while IP Alarm data will display either Normal, Timed
Out, or IP Down. All stored history is logged at the same interval as programmed on the History programming screen. To
set up the Datalog History, right-click on History from the IMS menu tree and select Properties. Enter the Interval time and
click the Enable box. This will start the Datalog feature. The Datalog will store Environmental and IP Alarm values if data-
logging is enabled on their respective programming screens.
