4.2.3 Data Logger Configuration
For the convenience of recording acquisition tag’s historical data, iRTU Studio provides data
logger configuration function. Users can select the acquisition tag, recording period (seconds)
and maximum recording days (day) according to the requirements. The historical data of each
day is stored in a file, which is stored in a SD card. iRTU Studio can calculate the occupied
memory in SD card of the historical data according to the recording period and recording
days. Pay attention to the total memory of SD card, which must be bigger to the calculated
memory. The specific parameter setting is as follows:
 Recording acquisition tag: the maximum is 200 tags.
 Recording period (second): Positive integer value.
 Recording maximum days (day): Integer value between 0~99.
In order to directly read the field data or prevent data loss caused by the communication insta-
bility, users can enable the USB backup function. In this way, users can directly insert the
USB into the ADAM-3600-C2G to copy the historical data in SD card. PROM indicator will
always be blinking until finishing the process of copying. The historical data is stored in the
form of SQLite. If users want to read the file, please contact Advantech customer service. We
will help you to read the data.
