Feature Description

Data Logging is one of our historical features in XpanelDesigner. This property allows users to track digital and analog tag data and save a log file of this data, or display it with an object. The data is collected in real-time at specified intervals and in data blocks that the user configures. The generated log file can be converted into a CSV file and stored in the Xpanel's internal memory, a USB drive, or an SD card.

CSV Generation

The user can export past data logger data to a CSV for record keeping. The user can transfer data to a USB, SD card, or local memory on Windows Xpanel*.

A CSV file can be created by creating a command set to “Save Data Log CSV” and attaching it to a clickable object.

An example of what the CSV file would look like after generation is shown on the far right:

*Disclaimer: CIMON recommends exclusively using a USB or SD card for storage types. Saved CSV files to local memory are only accessible through an SSH connection.
