3.1 Introduction
The XMT868i offers two options for logging data:
•
If the Model XMT868i flowmeter is equipped with an optional data logging card in Slot 2 , flow rate data can be
recorded and stored in this memory in the form of a log file . After the specified data has been logged, the log file
may be uploaded to PanaView using the RS232 link.
• PanaView can also create PC log files for storage on the PC’s hard drive.
This chapter explains how to use the Model XMT868i’s data logging capability with PanaView.

•
meter logs - log files stored in the XMT868i memory, as discussed above
• PC logs - log files stored on your PC’s hard drive (page 6)
To create or view logs of the above types, proceed to the appropriate section of this chapter.
