Log File Menu Options

 

 

Transfer Options By selecting this menu item, a transfer options dialog will appear. These options allow you to include or exclude any particular segment of data contained in the Log File. The data is categorized in terms of channel state transitions and RTU events. This data can be further constrained by the range of data taken from the log. When the data is transferred, you can also determine how the data is sorted and how it will be formatted when delivered. Note: These options also apply to Remote Data Terminals that call the Catalyst in order to retrieve the Log File. See Also: Transfer Options

 

Transfer Log File from RTU Select this menu item and the Log File will be transferred from the Catalyst to the computer to which it is connected via Alarmware.

 

Clear RTU Log File Select this menu item to completely clear the Log File from Catalyst memory. WARNING! : All data will be lost. Clicking OK will irrevocably delete all log file data stored within the RTU. DO NOT PERFORM this action unless you are sure all log file data has been downloaded to a safe location or you are sure you will never have any future use for the data. Normally, this action is only necessary when you wish to immediately recover file system space after decreasing the log file reserve or permanently disabling all log file capabilities. The Catalyst automatically creates space for new data when the log file reserve is full (when configured to overwrite oldest log file data).

 

Mark RTU Log File as delivered Use this menu item to mark the Log File as delivered to all eligible destinations.  Log File data segments can be flagged for delivery by scheduling parameters or when the high-water percentage of memory has been exceeded. By selecting this menu item, you will prevent the RTU from delivering those Log File data segments. Selecting all data in the Log File transfer options will induce this delivered data to be reported again.

 

Open Alarmware Log File Opens a file on the Alarmware list containing all logfile reports received from the Catalyst.
