MATE3s Settings
Data Logging
M-2.
Data Logging
The Data Logging function enables the MATE3s to record operational
status information about the system. Individual status information is
recorded for each device connected to the MATE3s. This function will
record data to the internal flash memory for up to one year and selectively
to an SD memory card up to the capacity of the card.
○ The MATE3s can use an SD card of up to 8 GB capacity.
○
To accommodate the card, it is
recommended to leave 2” clearance
on the right side of the MATE3s.
○
Inserting the card in the slot causes
an SD card icon to appear on the
Home screen.
●
Internal Data Log Write Interval
— the interval (
60
to
3600
seconds) at which data is recorded for the MATE3s graphs.
●
SD Card Data Logging Mode
— the level of selectivity for downloading data to the SD card.
◘
Excel
records the full date and time for each interval recorded.
◘
Disabled
turns off data logging to the SD card. It does not turn off data logging to the internal flash memory.
◘
Compact
records only the minutes and seconds for each interval recorded.
●
SD Card DataLog Write Interval
— the interval (
1
to
60
seconds) at which data is automatically downloaded to the SD card.
For instructions on downloading data logs for the charge controller, see page 48.
For instructions on downloading data logs for the FLEXnet DC Battery Monitor, see page 49.
Data Log File Format
Information generated by this function will be saved on the SD card in a generic .csv file format, which can
be read by most spreadsheet programs. The file name on the .csv file will appear as follows:
Example
: 11062722.csv (YYMMDDHR.csv)
Where
: YY = Last 2 digits of the year, MM = Month (01-12), DD = Day (01-31), HR = Hour (00-23)
The data log shown in this example is arranged by date and time. It shows all devices connected to the
HUB Communications Manager in order by port number. The table is broken into parts to emphasize that
the data available for each device is not the same. Each type of OutBack device is noted by a particular
Device Type designation. FX-class inverters use Device Type 2, while FLEXmax charge controllers are Type 3.
The FLEXnet DC Battery Monitor is Device Type 4. Device Types not depicted here include FXR-class inverters
(Type 5) and Radian-class inverters (Type 6).
This example shows a system with two FX(E) inverters, two FLEXmax controllers, and the FLEXnet DC.
NOTES
The headers shown above
each part of the table are included
for convenience. The headers are
not included in the download.
For more information on the data
stream or any of the table items,

This shows more of the data log
as it actually appears. The rows for
each field are repeated with updated
information at the specified interval
(5 seconds in this example).
Note that the order and designation
of each column may change. Each
row represents a different device.
The columns are arranged
appropriately for the device type
and that particular device.
