Data Management 7.2.6
The following chapter describes the Data Menu and Data structure.
Recording / Record – Button
PIM-P can store measurement data manually (default) or automatically with
predetermined intervals. When the “Record” button in the “Field Mode” screen is pushed,
the system stores one data set in a log file. The recorded measurement data is stored in a
log file. This file is stored in ASCII text format with CSV structure. (Comma-Separated
Values), allowing convenient importing of log data into databases or spreadsheet
applications.
For more information about Automatic Mode refer to chapter “System Menu”.
Note: While it is theoretically possible to enter commas in descriptive fields like
Carrier Name, Site, Feeder and Sector, it is strongly suggested to refrain from such
practice. In a CSV structure, text after the comma will be taken as new value when
importing into a database or spreadsheet which will mix up field assignments.
Important information will be at an incorrect location.
Log Files and Content 7.2.7
With PIM-P firmware versions 1.2 and later, log file names are a combination of
Carrier, Site, Feeder, Sector, Date and Time. This way every log data file is absolutely
unique and allows for easy identification:
SITE_FEEDER_ YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.log
Previous firmware versions used the nomenclature:
PIM_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.log
Log files are stored in the directory C:\Program Files\PIM-P\History Users do not need
to access this directory directly since the data features of PIM-P Analyzer offer a
convenient way to extract and copy the data.
Information stored in log files is listed in the table below.
Content (comma separated)
