The Automated Data Output service starts automatically whenever Windows is
started; however, it can be configured at any time from the Start, Programs,
FuelsManager, Automated Data Output.
The configuration process includes specifying which tank point variables should
be logged, and what events initiate the log process. Up to 98 tank point variables
can be logged simultaneously, though usually substantially fewer are needed.
Also, there are three different types of “triggers” that can be defined to initiate the
log process.
Snapshot file A Snapshot file is a CSV file, written when a particular point value
takes place, and is designed as a “snapshot” of the data at the
moment in time at which the trigger was tripped. This file can be
written whenever a specific FuelsManager database value is met,
whenever a specific file exists, or at two individual static trigger times.
• Trigger Point: A trigger point and a trigger value can be entered.
Automated Data Output will wait for that specific database point
value to equal the trigger value and will then write the snapshot
file
• Trigger Time 1/2: Two trigger times can be specified directly.
These times indicate exactly when the snapshot file should be
written. This option is very useful for things like daily inventory
reports or statements
• Trigger File: This option triggers a snapshot file whenever a
specific file is detected. The file is then deleted as soon as the
operation is complete, to reset the trigger
Periodic File The Periodic file is a CSV file, written at regular intervals, as specified
in the Periodic Interval field. There is a check-box option to export the
column headers with the data, as well as an option to include a custom
“Version” column.
HTML File The HTML file is a hypertext markup language (HTML) file, and it is
written periodically, according to the Periodic Interval field. There is an
option to include another HTML file as a header, so that company
logos, etc., can be included on the output. This option can be used to
publish data directly to a local or web server on a periodic basis.
XML File The XML file is an extensible Markup Language (XML) file, and it is
written periodically, according to the Periodic Interval field. It can be
used alongside or instead of the HTML file.
