138 Reporting
Changing the default naming of signals
There are two locations where you can manually name each trend-logged parameter
value: Parameter browser tab under each monitored device and History logging tab
under Reports.
If you have not typed in any customized name for the trend-logged variables, the default
naming is used for the parameters.
1. To define how the NETA-21 names the trend-logging variables by default, go to
Reports –> Settings–> Signal names –> Settings.
2. From the Default signal name list, select one of the following options:
• Group and parameter number provides the parameter with a name such as
"03_02" (default setting prior to firmware version 2.20)
• Parameter name provides the parameter with a name such as
"main_status_word"
• Parameter group, number and name is a combination of the two options above,
for example, 03_03_main_status_word (default setting from firmware revision
2.20 onwards).
3. Optionally, define a prefix for each device reporting name in the Device reporting
name prefix text box.
4. If you select the Include device reporting name in default signal name check box,
the device reporting name set under Devices tab is prefixed to the signal name.
The example of the default name is shown in the Settings panel.
