CHAPTER 7
ASCII LOG VIEW
This chapter contains instructions for viewing history files with the ASCII
Log View application.
Introduction to ASCII Log View
ASCII Log View is an application for viewing the history files. Depending
on the configuration of the system, the history files are stored either for a
period of one year or several years. The files are either overwritten after
one year or deleted when the defined disk storage limit has been reached.
The content of history files are adapted according to system functionality
and requirements. Typically the history files contain sensor data,
meteorological calculation results, sent reports and technical alarms,
warnings and notifications. The history files can contain practically any
ASCII formattable data that has been available in the system during
operation. For example, external interface output, server to display output,
data sources and changes during report preparation, and more detailed
system status information can be stored to the history files.
