4.3.10 Batch recording option
Batch records form a part of recording history and are included in the normal archiving process to a re-
movable Compact Flash card or to a remote PC (
sections 4.1 and 4.3.5 ). Batches can be initiated directly
by the operator (if access permission is granted), automatically whenever a specifi ed counter changes
value, by job or remotely
via MODBUS/TCP.
Batches can be defi ned as start/stop, or continuous and can incorporate all channels, or just those associ-
ated with a specifi ed Group. For start/stop batches, the batch record starts when the batch is started,
and continues until it is stopped. For continuous batches, the batch record starts when the batch is
started and continues until the next batch is started, or until batch recording is disabled.
When using ‘PC review’ software the ‘Go to Batch’ feature can be used to select a particular batch record.
If ‘ Name fi les by Batch’ is enabled a separate history fi le is created for each batch.
For each batch start, a start message is printed:
DD/MM/YY HH:MM:SS Batch start (User Full Name)
Where DD/MM/YY is the date, HH:MM:SS is the time, and User Full name is either the current user name,
the security level (e.g. Engineer) or ‘Automatic’ if the batch has been initiated by job, or ‘Modbus’ if trig-
gered remotely. A similar message is printed at Batch Stop. (There are no stop messages associated
with continuous batch selection).
In addition to the above start/stop messages, up to six lines of text can, if required, be printed on the
‘chart’ at the start of a batch and, if required, at the end of a batch. The messages are in two parts,
which for the sake of this document, are called ‘Headings’ and ‘Values’ The Headings are entered in
Fields 1 to 6 in Batch Confi guration. The Values associated with these headings are entered by the op-
erator at initiation.
AUDITOR MESSAGES
If either Auditor option is fi tted a Confi g/Security Revision message appears immediately after the Batch
Start message:
DD/MM/YY HH:MM:SS Confi g Revision:NNNNNN Security Revision:SSSSSS
DD/MM/YY HH:MM:SS Batch start (User Full Name)
