For more information about HMI tag alarm log files, see:
 “Adding remarks to the alarm log file at run time” on page 11-30.
 “Viewing HMI tag alarm log files” on page 11-29.
Specifying where log files are stored or printed
In the Logging tab of the HMI Tag Alarm Log Setup tool, you can specify where alarm
log files are stored on the computer. The default location is:
 ..\Users\Public\Public Documents\RSView Enterprise\SE\AlarmLog
 (Windows XP or Windows Server 2003) ..\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Shared Documents\RSView Enterprise\SE\AlarmLog
If alarm information is being logged to a printer, you can also specify where the
information will be printed. For details about options in the Logging tab, click Help.
Specifying when log files are created and deleted
In the File Management tab of the HMI Tag Alarm Log Setup tool, you can specify when
alarm log files are created and deleted.
You can set up the system to create new log files periodically, or you can prevent new files
from being created.
In each 24-hour period, up to 26 new files can be created. If you attempt to create a 27th
file, FactoryTalk View continues logging data to the 26th file. At midnight, the sequence
starts again with the first new file for the new day.
