When the F103-P is ordered with the datalogging option (type ZL), SETUP-menu 10 is
extended to SETUP-menu 10 and SETUP-menu 11, as shown in the following paragraphs.
3.3.12 EXPLANATION OF SETUP-MENU 10 - DATALOGGING (WITH TYPE ZL)
The function of the data log module is to record the performance of the F103-P and the amount of
the medium that passed the sensor (e.g. flowmeter) with respect to the time and the date.
The following type of records are made by the data log module:
Interval records
The interval log is used to record the data, as a snapshot, at a specific time interval. When the
maximum amount of records is made (1000), the eldest record is overwritten by the newest record.
Each interval record contains the following data:
■ a sequence number ■ the actual flowrate
■ a date/time stamp ■ the total
■ the accumulated total
Daily records
The daily log is used to record the daily record in the Daily logbook. This is done at one or two pre-
determined time(s) in the day, e.g. before or at the end of a so called contract hour. This function is
meant to determine, by hand, the total of the previous contract hour or to trend the total over a
certain period of time. When the maximum amount of records is made (1000), the eldest record is
overwritten by the newest record.

Fig. 13: Dual daily log (typical)
Each daily record contains the following data:
■ a sequence number ■ the actual flowrate
■ a date/time stamp ■ the total
■ the accumulated total
Event records
The event log is used to record the events that happen during operation in the Event logbook. These
events have a generic or specific content (manufacturer defined). For every event that occurs, one
record is stored in the logbook. When the maximum amount of records is made (500), the eldest
record is overwritten by the newest record.
Each event record contains the following data:
■ a sequence number ■ (as applicable) an event type number
■ a date/time stamp ■ (as applicable) an event content description
Reading the data log records
The recorded data is accessible at operator level (see chapter 2) or via the PC based data log
application (Remote Configuration Software) which can read out and store the records.
The application requires a serial communication connection (e.g. RS485, USB), and depending on
the type of communication interface your device has, you might need a specific communication
cable. The software and cable are available on our website or through your supplier.
