MultiSmart Installation & Operation Manual
19.6 Configuring the datalogger to write directly to an SD Card
When an SD card is installed in the unit, the Datalogger can be configured so that event or fault data is
saved to the card as the event or fault occurs. If not all event or fault data are required, the unwanted tags
can be removed before the data is saved. The following steps show how to setup the Datalogger to save
data to the SD card.
19.6.1 Setting the Event Logger and Crisis Logger File Location
• Scroll down to Event Logger then press
• Scroll down to Log file name (Show More Options, section 31.1, must be enabled for this to be
displayed)
• Press an arrow key located on the keypad (such as ) and change the default path and filename
(/var/log/events.log) to:
/media/sd/events.log
Where "events.log" is the filename.
If the Crisis Logger is also being used (section 19.2) it can also be logged directly to SD.
• Scroll up (from Log file name) to Fault file name
• Press an arrow key located on the keypad (such as ) and change the default path and filename
(/var/log/crisis.log) to:
/media/sd/crisis.log
When either or both of these tasks are done:
• Press Save, then Back, and Back again, and restart the unit using the menu option:
NOTE: Data will be saved to the previous file name until the unit is restarted.
NOTE: An event is saved to the SD card as soon as it occurs, however if no card is present or an
invalid file name has been entered, no data will be saved, not even to internal memory.
NOTE: New data is always appended to the file (if it exists), so if only new data is required, delete the
file from the SD card before re-installing it. (The default event file size is 3MB and the default fault file
size is 300kB).
19.7 Adding Comments and Deleting Logs
From the History screen, press Add/Delete to navigate to the screen: “Add Comment / Delete History Logs”.
This screen has two different functions:
Firstly, the user can add comments to the datalog. For example, “Serviced Pump 2”. This text entry will
appear in the history page along with the data/time it was entered.
Secondly, the user can delete logs from this screen.
NOTE: Deleted log files cannot be restored.
