This feature allows users to configure new data loggers, edit existing data loggers, and/or attach tags to data loggers.
To open the Data Log Editor window, click **Tools **> **Data Log Editor…**.
On the Data Log Editor pop-up window, a new data logger can be created by clicking the **+** icon.
Alternatively, users can right-click on the empty space, then click **New Data Logger**.
# **Logger Settings**
Once a new data logger has been created, the user is presented with the above Logger Settings tab. The features in this tab are explained in further detail in the following table.
| | |
| --- | --- |
| **Item** | **Description** |
| Logging Model Name | Enter the name of the Data Logging model. You may use alphanumeric characters, Korean alphabets, and special characters as the model name. You cannot use a duplicated model name. |
| Max Logs | The maximum number of rows for the data logger. If the data logger hits the set maximum value in operation, the data logger continues to operate by discarding the oldest logged value for a new value. |
| Time Stamp Format | Allows the user to customize the formatting of timestamps for the data logger’s data points. |
| Start Options | Start Up | Enables the data logger on device start up. |
| Manual | Enables the data logger on execution of a 'datalog.start(“Insert Logging Model Name”)' command. |
| Condition | Enables the data logger when the Trigger Tag or address value meets the conditions specified by the Comparison and Value fields. When this option is used, the comparison condition is structured as follows: Trigger Tag, Comparison, Value.
Example: For a Trigger Tag “Celsius”, a greater than comparator, and a value of 5, the comparison would be structured as follows:
“Celsius” > 5 |
| Trigger Tag | Tag referenced by the Comparison operator. |
| Comparison | Allows the user to select from six possible comparators: equal (==), does not equal (!=), greater than (>), greater than or equal to (>=), less than (<), and less than or equal to (<=). |
| Value | A numerical value or tag to be compared to the Trigger Tag. |
| Logging Options | Allows the user to modify when a new row is added to the data logger. Note that the data logger must be started before a new row can be added. |
| Periodic | Adds a row to the data logger at a set interval. Users can adjust this interval using the Hours, Minutes, Seconds, and Milliseconds command. |
| Tag Value Change | Adds a row to the data logger upon a change in the Trigger Tag's value. |
| Manual | Adds a row to the data logger upon execution of a ‘datalog.addrow(“Insert Logging Model Name”)' command. |
| Condition | Adds a row to the data logger when the Trigger Tag or address value meets the conditions specified by the Comparison and Value fields. When this option is used, the comparison condition is structured as follows: Trigger Tag, Comparison, Value.
Example: For a Trigger Tag “Celsius”, a greater than comparator, and a value of 5, the comparison would be structured as follows:
“Celsius” > 5 |
| Trigger Tag | Tag referenced by the Comparison operator. |
| Comparison | Allows the user to select from six possible comparators: equal (==), does not equal (!=), greater than (>), greater than or equal to (>=), less than (<), and less than or equal to (<=). |
| Value | A numerical value or tag to be compared to the Trigger Tag. |
# **Tag List**
Allows the user to assign multiple tags to a Data Logging Model. A new tag can be added by clicking the **Tag List** tab > click **Add Tag(s)** icon or right-clicking the empty space > click** Add Tag(s)**. The Add Tag(s) window will pop-up, which functions similarly to the Tag Editor.
Users can add selected tags by clicking **Add Tag(s)** icon next to the Selected Tag(s) box > checkmark the desired tag > click **Select**.
Users can also remove tags from the Data Logging Model by clicking the **Delete **icon or right-clicking on the desired tag > click **Delete**.

|  | - **Since the data is logged in the block unit, the block must be created in advance.**
- **If a block is full, you must create a new block to continue the data logging.**
- **If the number of blocks reaches the maximum, the next block will be created after the deletion of the oldest block.**
- **Before saving the CSV file, check the volume of the storage. It is recommended to save the files in USB or SD memory.**
- **If the configuration of the data logging model has changed and the project is written to the Xpanel, the former project’s entire blocks will be deleted. (CSV files are not deleted.) Thus, back-up is needed when updating.**
- **The data log file is stored in the Xpanel in the following location: \Xpanel\Log\“LogModelName”** |
