Each line of the exported file represents an entry from either the Output Rate log or the
Downtime Logging log. The log includes the following fields:
• A two-letter code that represents the entry type (see Table 7-15).
• A date/time when either the output rate event occurred or the downtime event started
(in the format ‘dd-MM-YYYYThh:mm:ss’).
• The message selected for output rate measurement.
• The target output rate (in prints per hour).
• A description of the output rate event or downtime event.
• The end time of a downtime event.
• The production line associated with the downtime event.
Any field that is not applicable is left blank in the log file.
Output logging data appears first in the log, followed by downtime logging data. The log is
not chronological, but you can export the .csv file to a spreadsheet program, and then sort
entries by date and time.
The two-letter codes for log entries are as follows.
