File Names and Storage
The file name entered is the first part of the generated name. The file creation date in the format
YYYYMMDD is appended to the supplied name, allowing multiple files with the same user-supplied
name to have unique file names. If the name is changed after data is logged with the old name,
manually delete the old files from the
File List
page. The Discard Oldest option only finds files with
the same name listed under the File Name.
Log files are saved to either RAM or FLASH memory. Log files stored in RAM are lost when the
system power cycles. The RAM area is directory RAM0 with a capacity of 1000KB (1 Megabyte).
The FLASH area is directory FLASH0 with a capacity of 256KB. This FLASH0 area is shared with
configuration files and program files.
Resource Allocation
To avoid filling a log file and losing data, allocate the system resources. A new log file may be
started daily, weekly, or when the existing data file reaches a specified size. When a log file is filled,
have the data log file automatically e-mailed as an attachment or use FTP to retrieve the file. To
have the completed log file automatically e-mailed, enter a recipient’s e-mail address (myname@
myplace.com) and optional subject and message.
Discarding the Oldest Files
To automatically discard the oldest data logs when system resources are exhausted, check the
discard oldest radio button. This discards the oldest file with the name shown in the File Name
box. This rule applies independently for each log file rule set.
The specific rules for resource management are as follows:
If a file is full (i.e. its size setting is met), disregard the schedule, e-mail the file to the listed
recipients, and request a new file. Until the file fills, check the schedule. If the log file should be
e-mailed now because of daily schedule settings, e-mail the file and request a new file. The e-mail
command only applies if e-mail is configured, but the new file request always applies.
When a new file is requested, check the discard oldest or stop logging setting. If discard oldest
is selected, add up all log file sizes. If this much free space is not available, delete the oldest file
with a name prefix matching the log configuration requesting a new file. If there is only one (or
fewer) older file, revert to stop logging rules. If stop logging is selected (by configuration or by
default), verify there is room for 50% of this file. If so, create the file. If not, disable this log.
