12.5. 1 Write Online Data File
All channels which appear on the "Spot values" (Device overview) are written onto the transfer file.
By default these are the channels Pac, E-Total, Status and Error. How to choose which channels
appear on the "Spot values" page is described in chapter 10. 2 "Choose the channels for spot value
readings." (Page 58).
The online data file comprises two text files:
• .txt file = text file in "ini“ format
• .xml file = text file in XML format
The files are saved on your PC in the directory "SMA\Sunny Data Control\Online“.
The files bear the name of the device overview which you activated most recently, and have the file
suffixes ".txt" and ".xml". The device overview "Online00" is the default. You can read how to rename
and manage device overviews in section 10. 8 "Managing the Device Overviews" (Page 67).
1. Choose "Spot values".
2. If a check mark is shown beside "Write Online Data File", the online data file will be written.
If no check mark is shown, no online data file will be written.
3. Click on the menu item "Write Online Data File" in order to place or remove the check mark.
Requirements
There must be devices placed in the device overview in order for the files to be generated.
