Viewing Daily and Hourly Logs
Each day, as the user-defined contract hour passes, a daily flow total is saved to nonvolatile memory. Hourly
logs are also automatically saved. A total of 384 daily logs and 768 hourly logs are accessible for viewing and
exporting using the interface software. See Section 5 for details.
Up to 99 daily flow log totals can be viewed from the LCD. Hourly flow log totals are accessible only through
the interface software.
To view daily flow totals from the LCD, perform the following steps:
1. Press the LEFT ARROW (LOG) key on the keypad. The words “Daily Volume Archive” will scroll across
the bottom of the LCD and the day index will display “01.” The daily flow total recorded at the last con -
tract hour will appear at the top of the LCD.
The index number represents the number of days previous to the current date. For example, yesterday’s
totals are read by entering an index of “01”; totals from two days previous are read by entering “02.”
2. Press UP ARROW (TEST) to increment the index (01, 02, 03...); press LEFT ARROW (LOG) to decre -
ment the index (01, 99, 98...).
3. Press Enter (Save) to exit the Daily Volume Archive menu. (After 2 minutes of inactivity, the Daily Vol -
ume Archive menu will time out and the total readout will be restored automatically.)
Saving and Uploading Configuration Files
The MC-III interface software allows users to save an unlimited number of configuration files to their
computer. In the event that a configuration setting gets changed unintentionally or a user simply wants to
restore the settings he used previously, the user can upload the configuration file and resume operation within
minutes. The upload function also allows a configuration file to be loaded quickly into multiple devices. The
default directory for saving configuration files is C:\NuFlo log data\MC-III. However, users can specify a
different location, if desired.
For complete information, see
Saving and Uploading Configuration Files, page 69
.
Exporting Log Data
Flow logs and event logs can be directly exported to an .xls or .csv file. For complete information, see
Exporting Flow Logs, page 81
, and
Exporting Event Logs, page 84
. The default directory for exported
logs is C:\NuFlo log data\MC-III. However, users can specify a different location, if desired.
Saving Log Data in a Report
Flow logs can be saved in a report format that can be loaded back into the software for viewing or printing
at a later time. For complete information, see Printing/Saving a Report, page 77 . The default directory for
log reports is C:\NuFlo log data\MC-III\<WELL NAME> . However, users can specify a different location, if
desired.
