Downloading and exporting of DataLog data
To download and export the data from your FLOWSIC600, complete the following steps:
Use MEPAFLOW600 CBM to connect to the meter (
).
Go to the DataLogs page (choose "Meter / DataLogs" from the menu).
In the dialog "DataLog selection", select those DataLogs that you want to view and/or
export and click "OK".
Now the DataLogs page is displayed with the data from the meter (
If you select a DataLog entry, its time stamp and the meter status (see below) is shown
in the middle section.
To update the data from the meter, use the button "Read DataLogs".
To export DataLog data to an Excel file (.xls), use the button "Export DataLogs".

Clearing entries from DataLogs
If the DataLogs are configured with the storage behavior "rolling", it is not necessary to
clear the entries from the DataLogs on the meter. When the DataLog is full, new entries will
overwrite the oldest entries.
If a DataLog is configured with the storage behavior "blocking", the DataLog will stop sav-
ing new entries when it is full and a yellow light will indicate the full DataLog on the meter
status table (
). In this case it is recommended to clear the entries from the
DataLogs.
Meter status
In every DataLog entry, a condensed meter status information is saved. It
shows all meter status information that became active during the storage cycle
- even if it was for the shortest period of time.
If a meter status information bit is shown active in a DataLog entry, the
logbooks will contain a corresponding entry with more information.
Always check the logbooks, if you require more information about the meter
status information in the DataLogs.
Flow weighted diagnostic information in DataLog data
The datasets (
) do not contain any diagnostic information for
gas velocities below the value for the parameter Vmin (Reg. #7036
"LowFlowCutOff"). The "Flow time" value shows, for what percentage of the
duration of the storage cycle the flow was above Vmin and in the flow direction
specified for the DataLog.
All diagnostic information is flow-weighted.
