• If you are using ProLink III, the log file is written to a folder on your PC.
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
— SmvLongTermData.csv
• Totalizer history files: TotLog.txt
14.2 Generate service files
The transmitter automatically saves several types of service data that is useful in troubleshooting, device
maintenance, and administration. You can view the data by generating a service file, using ProLink III to
download it to your PC, and using your PC to open the file.
Prerequisites
You must have an RS-485 adapter to use with your Factory Use Only port in non-hazardous areas.
Procedure
1. Open the wiring compartment on the transmitter and connect the RS-485 adapter to the Factory Use
Only port.
CAUTION
If the transmitter is in a hazardous area, do not open the wiring compartment while the transmitter
is powered up. Opening the wiring compartment while the transmitter is powered up could cause
an explosion.
