Device Data Logs (D)

Users can create Device Data Logs for the FLEXmax (FM) Charge Controller and the FLEXnet (FN) DC 

Battery Monitor.  The data logs can then be uploaded and saved to an SD card, or erased.  Data logs can be 

converted to spreadsheets and graphs.  They can be used to evaluate performance and trends.
