Creating log files
You can set up your project to create new log files: A1
periodically
at specified times
when a particular event occurs
never
Up to 26 new files can be created in each 24–hour period. If you
attempt to create a 27th file, RSView32 continues logging data to the
26th file.
For log files with both long and short file names, the sequence starts
again at midnight, with the first new file for the new day.
Log files are saved in the directory you specified under the Setup tab.
For more information about activity log files, see “About activity log
files” on page 8-10, “Bringing logged dBASE IV data into Microsoft
Excel” on page 16-4, and “Activity log files” on page 16-7.
