Configuring Automated Data Output
This section describes how to configure Automated Data Output to export the
desired variables to the proper output files.
Initial Setup
Refer to the Dialog Descriptions section for field explanations on the configuration
dialog box used in this procedure.
• Start the configuration program by selecting Start, Programs, Automated
Data Output, Automated Data Output
• Select the variables to be logged from the Available Tank Variables field and
click the >> Add >> button. You can select all the variables to be logged at
once and add them simultaneously, or add them one-at-a-time.
Alternatively, you can click the Default button and add to or remove from the
default set of tank variables. Keep in mind that the order in which the
variables are displayed in the Tank Variables to be logged field is also the
order in which the variables will be written to the output file
• If you want to use a database point value to trigger the file creation, define
that point in the Trigger Point and Trigger Value fields. Then enter the Reset
Value to the value you want to reset the point to after the snapshot file is
created
• If you want to create snapshot files at specific times of day, check the
box(es) next to the appropriate Trigger Time fields and enter your time(s)
there. Keep in mind these fields are entered using 24-hour time. You can
enter up to two Trigger Times
• Specify the snapshot file that you want Automated Data Output to write to by
entering in the full path and file name into the Snapshot File field.
• If you want to create a snapshot file using a trigger file (when a file exists),
enter that file's path and filename in the Trigger File field
• If you want Automated Data Output to create a Periodic File, enter the path
and filename you want to create in the Periodic File field. Set the Periodic
Interval field, keeping in mind that this value is also used to set the interval
for the HTML file. Also set any desired Period File Options
• If you want Automated Data Output to create an HTML file, enter the full
path and filename in the HTML File field, as well as an HTML Header File if
you want to include a logo in the browser above your HTML file
• If you want Automated Data Output to create an XML file, enter the full path
and filename of the file you want to create in the XML Files
• If needed, click the Test button and review the output files
• Click the Ok button to save the configuration and close the dialog.
Automated Data Output configuration is now complete. Since Automated
Data Output is running as a Windows service, the files ‘Snapshot.csv’,
‘Test.csv’, and ‘Test.html’ will be automatically produced as a specified,
regardless of whether the Automated Data Output Configuration application
is open
