3.2 Creating a Standard Log
Use the STD submenu to create a new standard log and to select the parameters to log, the log start time and date,
the log end time and date, and the time increment. Also, any log file already stored in memory may be inspected
and/or changed.
Press the appropriate side of the [SCREEN] key to activate the desired pane of the display screen, and complete the
following steps:
1. To access the Log Menu, press [LOG].
a.
If you have activated the security feature (see Chapter 1, Programming Site Data, page 50 for details), enter the
assigned password and press
[ENT].
2. Press [F1] = STD.
3. Use the [
, [ and [F1]-[F4] keys to inspect a completed log, change an active log, or enter a new name (up
to 5 characters) and press [ENT] to create a new log file.
Note: At the NAME prompt, the option bar will show the names of all completed or active log files that are
currently stored in memory. Recall that a flashing asterisk (*) appears at the far right of the locator bar if the
Model DF868 is currently logging data (see Chapter 3, Operation, page 3-4 of the Startup Guide).
4. At the Log Message prompt, enter a brief description (up to 21 characters) of the log and press [ENT].
5. Use the [
, [ and [F1]-[F4] keys to select the first parameter to be logged. See Table 35 on page 66 for a list
of the available options.
IMPORTANT: Only the first
parameter logged may be graphically displayed in the LOG submenu of the Display Menu.
Keep this in mind when selecting a parameter. See Chapter 2, Displaying Data, for instructions.
