6. Function blocks
6.1 Manufacturer function blocks
Data logged with the DL data logger manufacturer function block is stored on the
card in a directory. This directory will be named as specified under Programming
view/Data logger - Parameter tab in the Directory name of log session field.
The data in the log files is binary-encoded and cannot be read with standard Win-
dows PC tools. Within easySoft 8, it can be read with the card manager, where you
can see all the logs on the card and also convert them to *.csv format, summarize
them and save them to a file. This can then be opened and edited with Excel.
The recording of binary data in various log files takes place for security reasons. If a
file is corrupt or if the card was pulled out while being written to, only the data
records in that file are corrupt. The previous ones are saved securely.
Number of files per log session
The desired number of files that should be logged on the microSD card in each log
session is defined in this Number of files per log session parameter.
The maximum possible number is 1000.
