third lines contain “old” data for the last column.
Data Point Formats
Data points are formatted based on the following rules:
If the network variable size is 1 byte then the data is treated as a signed integer.
If the network variable size is 2 bytes and the network variable type is
SNVT_switch
, the data is treated as such and displayed as NN.N B where B is ‘0’
or ‘1’. For any other 2 byte network variable type; the data is treated as a signed
2-byte integer.
If the network variable size is 4 bytes then the data is treated as a floating point
value.
If the network variable size is 29 bytes and the network variable is of the
SNVT_alarm
type, the data is treated as such.
If the network variable size is 31 bytes and the network variable is of the
SNVT_str_asc
type, the data is displayed as a string.
Command Line Switches
When invoking the Data Logger Utility there are several command line switches
that help automate the start up process:
/net Network Name Opens the specified network.
/ifc Interface Name Uses the specified network interface.
/sub Subsystem Name Opens the specified subsystem.
/log Data Logger Name Accesses the specified Data Logger. Multiple switches
can be used to select more than one Data Logger.
/idle seconds Causes the utility to shut down after seconds of idle
activity.
/cmd Command File Opens the specified file as a source of command line
switches. This is a text file, and can have newlines for
readability.
