268 Administrator Manual
Trigger File This field specifies an optional trigger on the
existence of a specific file. If a file (with the full path to
the file) is specified, then the log process is initiated
whenever the existence of this file is detected. This
file is subsequently deleted, to reset the trigger. The
button next to this field opens a browse window to
make it easier to specify the trigger file
Snapshot File A Snapshot file is an CSV file, written when any of the
above Trigger events take 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 used to create
a daily inventory report at a specific time, or to log the
state of all tanks when a particular event or disk file is
detected. The button next to this field opens a browse
window to make it easier to define the desired output
file
Periodic File The Periodic file is an CSV file, written at regular
intervals, as specified in the Periodic Interval field.
There are options to export the column headers with
the data, as well as an option to include a custom
“Version” column
Periodic Interval The Periodic Interval is the amount of time, in
minutes, between updates to the Periodic File. The
Periodic File is overwritten each time this period
expires, and the counter begins when Automated
Data Output starts, which corresponds with when
Windows starts
Version If a value is specified in the Version field, it is included
in the periodic file as an additional column of data.
This affects both the Snapshot File Parameters and
the Periodic File Parameters
Export Quality Info If this box is checked, the file will contain the current
status of the selected variables (overrage, underrage,
forced, manual, etc.). This affects both the Snapshot
File Parameters and the Periodic File Parameters
Export Header If this box is checked, then the field names are
included at the top of each column of the CSV file. If
this file is not checked, then the data is written without
a header. This affects both the Snapshot File
Parameters and the Periodic File Parameters
HTML File The HTML file is a hypertext (HTML) file, and it is also
written periodically, according to the Periodic Interval
field. This option can be used to publish data directly
to a local or web server on a periodic basis
