Data logging
Data logging commences when a firing is started. Data logging finishes when the
firing is complete and when the kiln has cooled to 100°C. A file: LOGnnn.CSV
is created on the FLASH drive. The first file to be created will be LOG000.CSV.
Subsequent firings will generate LOG001.CSV up to LOG999.CSV. Only 1000 log
files are allowed. It is best to move the LOG files to another storage disk after just
a few firings - because it takes about 1 second to index each existing file on disk
before a new file can be created. For example, if there are files LOG000.CSV to
LOG100.CSV on disk there would be a delay of just over 100 seconds before
LOG101.CSV could be created and logging could be commenced.
The files created are in "Comma Separated Variable" (CSV) ASCII format and can
be directly imported into Microsoft Excel Spreadsheets.
Logging Interval
This can be adjusted over the range 5 to 300 seconds (default 60 seconds) using
parameter P50 with the controller in configuration mode (see chapter "Other Fea-
tures", section Parameter Configuration).
