Combining logging

You can combine periodic or on–change logging with on–demand
logging. This enables data to be captured at particular times, as well as
when a particular event occurs.

4.

To combine logging:

1.

In the Data Log Setup editor, choose Periodic or On Change as
the log trigger.

2.

Type the DataLogSnapshot <file> command or the
DataLogSnapshot * command anywhere an RSView32 command
or macro can be used.

Providing operators with a way to log on

demand

At runtime, operators might need to take a snapshot of data. To do
this, they need a way to issue the DataLogSnapshot <file> command
or the DataLogSnapshot * command. Possible methods include:

3.

creating a button object and using the command as the press

action—operators can then press the button to take a data log
snapshot

creating a display key or global key and using the command as the

press action—operators can then press a key to take a data log
snapshot

providing a command line—operators can then type the command

directly on the command line
