Viewing the event Logger
To view the Event Log click the View Events button after downloading, or click on Status , then
View Event Log from the main menu of the unit programming form. You may also view events
by selecting History, then View Events from the Sensaphone Control Center form. The Event
Log query form will appear. To begin, click on
Events
, then select one or more units that you
would like to query. To select multiple units, hold the Control key down and click on the units
to include in the query. When you have finished selecting units, click the Next button.
Choose the specific events to appear in the query. You may select them from the list or click
one of the pre-defined query buttons below the list box. When finished click the Next button.
Choose the way the events are ordered by selecting one of the four options in the
Query Order
block. You can view the events in chronological order by newest-to-oldest (Descending), old-
est-to-newest (Ascending), alphabetically by event description, or by unit name.
Finally, enter the time period that contains the events you wish to view and click
Query .
Deleting events from the event Log Database
Perform a query as described above and click the Delete button to remove the queried events.
Printing, exporting, and Copying the event Log
The event log can be printed by performing a query and clicking the
Print
button at the top of
the screen. You can also export the Event Log to a comma-delimited text file. Simply click the
Export button after performing a query and enter a file name. Comma-delimited text files can
typically be imported into most spreadsheets or databases. As a second option, the Event Log
can also be copied to the Windows clipboard. This allows you to paste the copied information
into other programs that support Windows Cut, Copy, & Paste functions.
POLLING
The SCADA 3000 Software can be programmed to connect with your SCADA 3000 units,
one at a time, on a predetermined time schedule, to retrieve the Data Log and Event Log.
The downloaded information will be stored in a database in the computer for viewing at a later
time. The concept is similar to setting an alarm clock to download a unit's Data Logger and
Event Log.
Polling is a useful feature for users who need to save more data than the SCADA 3000 is capa-
ble of holding. By polling on an automated, periodic basis, it is possible to log large amounts
of data to your computer without overwriting data in the SCADA 3000. It is also a time saver
since it can be programmed to perform the data collection in the middle of the night when
your computer is typically doing nothing. As an added benefit, telephone rates are typically
reduced during these hours. Once the data has been downloaded you can choose to view it
using the Data Log or Event Log View options, or export the data to another application for
data processing or archiving purposes.
Setting Up a Polling Schedule
To set up a polling schedule click on the Polling button from the toolbar of the Control Center
screen. The following form will appear:
