Online Data File in XML Format (".XML")

The same measured values are saved in this file, as in the plain text file described above. The only
difference is the format used. Here, the data is saved in XML format.

XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a data definition language, standardized by the consortium
W3C. This enables, among other things, simple exchange of data over the Internet. For this reason,
the online displays' measured values are also saved in this format. You can acquire more detailed
information regarding XML online at "www.w3c.org".

The file begins with the normal XML header, followed by a brief comment:

?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?

Directly afterwards, the "root element" of the document begins:

2002-10-02

Within the root element are the elements "" and "

This is followed by the "" element, in which all devices in Sunny Data Control's online
display are now saved. Each device is described by a "" element entry:
