Date/Time:
The date/time column reports the time at which data was logged from the Modbus device. Note: this is not
necessarily the time at the start of the log cycle. Users with large number of devices may notice some of the Modbus devices
at higher address numbers report 1 or 2 seconds after the first Modbus devices. This is because the 9600baud speed of the
Modbus loop is not fast enough to log all Modbus devices in less than 1 second. If a device does not respond during a log
cycle, the AcquiLite will attempt to query the device several more times. If a subsequent query is successful, the time of the
successful query will be used in the log file but may be several seconds after the initial log cycle.
The log date/time is in Universal time. (UTC) This means that the data is logged with no shift for daylight savings time, and
must be converted to local time for reporting purposes. When importing into a database, data should be kept in UTC time for
ease of use. When reporting the final data, you should adjust the time to reflect the local timezone for which you are
reporting. The data export option on the BMO website will prompt you for a timezone when you export the data, and will
adjust the log date/time accordingly. Note: UTC is sometimes referred to as GMT. (Greenwich Mean Time)

Low/High Range Alarms:
This number is a hex representation showing which data points are out of range. 0x01 shows
data point 1 in alarm state. 0x04 shows data point 3 in alarm state.
Data Points:
Data points are shown in the same order as the Modbus device configuration display in the Modbus/device list
page. Data is displayed in floating point form. When a specific point is unavailable (A8332-8F2D broken wire alarm) or the
point is not supported as part of the configuration (phase B current on a single phase H8163 meter hookup) the point will be
logged as blank. This preserves the column structure of the file, and allows notation of invalid data. SQL databases often
