Saving data to USB Memory Device (Data Logging)
Unit data can be recorded to USB memory devices. Revision 2.0 / 3.0 may work, but not all
vendors are supported. For specifications of the USB stick and the generated log files refer
to section 6.3, “Front Panel USB Port” on page 60.
The logging function stores files of CSV format on the memory stick. The layout of the log
data is the same as when logging via PC with software GUI software. The advantage of USB
logging over PC logging is the easy mobility of the data and that no PC is required. The
logging feature just has to be activated and configured in the MENU.
6.4.10.1
Configuration 1
After USB logging has been enabled and the parameters “Logging interval” and “Start/ Stop”
have been set, logging can be started anytime from within the MENU or after leaving it,
depending on the selected start/stop mode.
6.4.10.2
Configuration 2
There are additional settings for the CSV file as generated by the USB logging function. You
can switch the column separator format between European standard (“Default”) and US
American standard (“US”). The other option is used to deactivate the physical unit that is
added by default to every values in the log file. Deactivating this option simplifies the CSV
file processing in MS Excel.
6.4.10.3
Handling (start/stop)
With setting “Start/stop with DC Input ON/OFF” logging will start each time the DC Input of
the unit is switched on, either manually with the front “On/Off” button or remotely via the
analog or digital interface. In setting “Manual start/stop” logging is started and stopped
from the MENU screen on the logging configuration page.
As soon as logging has been started, the disk symbol (
) indicates the ongoing logging
action. In case there is an error while logging, such as when the USB memory is full or
removed, a disk error symbol (
) will appear. After every manual stop or switching OFF the
DC Input, the logging is stopped and the log file closed.
