In addition to providing control and configuration functions, Lynx can also manage your site data and allow you
to create customized reports for your station records. In order to create reports, you will first need to save site
data to your computer – this is usually accomplished through Logging.
LOGGING
Logging is set up in the Site Wizard when you initially create your site. Lynx can log site data in two ways, and
they can be used simultaneously or independently. The first method is to log site data directly to Lynx, and the
other is to download captures from the VRC2500 or GSC3000 I/O unit(s). Both of these options are described
on page 16. If you ever want to change your logging setup, click the Edit Site icon in the standard toolbar and
use the Next button to navigate to the Logging page in the Site Wizard.
IMPORTANT! In addition to setting up logging in the Site Wizard, logging must be enabled in order to for
logging to take place. Enable/Disable logging by clicking the toolbar icon ( ). This turns logging on and off for
all sites.
Log Messages
You can insert custom messages into the logs, which can be then be printed and included with your logging
reports. This is a good way for operators to leave notes about activity not otherwise recorded by Lynx (such as
equipment maintenance, shift duties, etc). Click the Insert Log Message toolbar icon ( ) and type the log
message. When you create the printed log using the report writer (later in this chapter), you will have the option
to include these log messages in the report.
CAPTURES
Captures are “snapshots” of the conditions at the remote site in a given instant. Captures include metering
values and status conditions, channel muting status, and the current command state for each channel. When
Lynx downloads these captures from the unit, the data they contain can be used for your site logs. You can also
configure the unit to take a capture when a channel is out-of-tolerance, providing operators with a complete
digest of the unit data at the time the condition occurred.
A unit will save 192 captures before erasing the capture buffer to make room for new ones. You can also erase
captures manually (see Viewing Captures on page 58), or instruct Lynx to delete the captures when it downloads
them for the log (see Logging, page 20).
