Log to CSV (Periodic/Tag Value, Daily)

Logs data according to the interval or the tag value. When you select this option, a CSV file will be created once a day, with the file name ‘YearMonthDay.csv'.

Log to CSV (Periodic/Tag Value, New CSV on Startup)

When the starting condition is satisfied, the data logging model is activated and creates a new CSV file.

If using the main memory, the file will be stored in the ‘\Xpanel\CSV\Datalogging model name\YYYYMMDD_hhmmss.CSV’ path. After the model starts data logging, a new CSV file is created. You may store up to 3 files in the main memory. The older files will be removed automatically.

If using USB/SD memory, there is no absolute limit on the number of CSV files that can be stored. When there is not enough storage space, logged data cannot be updated as a CSV file.

※ This option is supported in XpanelDesigner 2.53 and above versions.

- Since the data is logged in the block unit, the block must be created in advance.

- If a block is full, you must create a new block to continue the data logging.

- If the number of blocks reached reaches the maximum, the next block will be created after the deletion of the oldest block.

- Before saving the CSV file, check the volume of the storage. It is recommended to save the files in USB or SD memory.

- If the configuration of the data logging model has changed and the project is written to the Xpanel, the former project’s entire blocks will be deleted. (CSV files are not deleted.) Thus, back-up is needed if necessarywhen updating.

- The data log file is stored in the Xpanel in the following location:

\Xpanel\Log\“LogModelName”
