The transmitter automatically saves historical data of several types, including process and diagnostic variables,
Smart Meter Verification test results, and totalizer values. To access the historical data, you can generate a log
file, then view it on your PC.
WARNING
If the transmitter is in a hazardous area, do not remove the housing cover while the transmitter is powered
up. Failure to follow these instructions can cause an explosion resulting in injury or death.
Prerequisites
If you want to generate a totalizer log, you must have previously configured the transmitter to record totalizer
data. However, there is a totalizer history that is logged automatically.
Procedure
1. Select the type of log file that you want to generate.
2. If you selected historian data (process and diagnostic variables):
a) Set the date and time for the first entry in the historian log file.
b) Set the number of days that the log file will include.
c) Select the record type.

Description
1 Second Raw Data The current values of process and diagnostic variables, recorded at 1-second
intervals.
5 Min Average Data The minimum and maximum values of the 1-second raw data over the last
5 minutes, plus the average and the standard deviation, recorded at 5-minute
intervals.
The system provides an estimated file size or transfer time.
The log file is written to the specified location. File names are assigned as follows:
• Historian files: The file name is based on the transmitter tag, the starting date of the log contents, and the
record type. The record type is shown as F or S:
— F = Fast, for 1-second raw data
— S = Slow, for 5-minute average data
• SMV files:
— SmvLast20Data.csv
