extension (for example,
Bay12.mpl).

The Datalog Analysis and Utility Program has been designed to assist the user in analyzing the datalogs of
multiple systems. It is recommended that the MPL files are used as descriptive headings for a group of systems
(units). For example, the user may have MPL files called Building1.mpl, Building2.mpl, Building3.mpl, etc. Within
each MPL file there can be multiple units, such as Crane 123, Crane 124, Crane 125, etc. This would allow the
user to quickly access a particular system based upon its location. If the user has few systems, a single MPL file
should be sufficient. Refer to the help screens for further information about MPL files. To change MPL files, click
on ‘FILE’, then ‘LIST MPLog INFO FILES’ and make a selection. Then click on ‘UNIT’, then ‘ADD UNIT’ and enter
and save each system’s information. Lastly, click on ‘UNIT’, then ‘EDIT UNIT’ and ‘RESET FILENAME
EXTENSION’ and ‘SAVE’. Once all systems have been entered, the setup is complete.
