Trigger Data Log (M6 and
M8 model)
A trigger data log is enabled as a setpoint or logic gate output action and stores a
cycle-by-cycle record of the values of up to eight selected parameters for a selected
duration when its associate setpoint activates.
Setup
The trigger log requires the following to be configured:
• Basic Metering setup
• Date and Time setup
• Setpoint setup
At least one setpoint or logic gate output must be configured with a value of
30 = ‘Trigger Data Log’, to use the trigger data feature.
For example, to enable the trigger data log when Setpoint 1 goes active, the
following parameters must be configured in the
Configuration.Setpoint_Outputs table:
Setpoint_Output_X_Input_Source = 1
(1 = Setpoint 1)
Setpoint_Output_X_Action = 30
(30 = Trigger Data Log from the Setpoint Output Action List
on page 205)
Setpoint_Output_X ties its configured input source (either a setpoint or a logic
gate) to its configured action, see the Setpoint Output Action List
for available
output actions. Setpoints or logic gates must be configured separately. See
Setpoint Setup
on page 195 for more information on how to configure setpoints.
The trigger log is configured by default. If the default configuration satisfies your
requirements, you do not need to change it. To modify the setup, edit the
parameters in the Configuration.TriggerData tab, which contains the following
parameters.
Trigger_Mode - Selects how records are saved. Options are:
• 0 = Fill and stop recording when log is full
• 1 = Overwrite when log is full starting with the earliest record (default)
TriggerData_Length_s - Log duration, range = 1 (default) …10 seconds
Trigger log parameter selection. For each, the range is 1…184, from the Data Log
Parameter List on page 139. The default values of the parameters are listed.
• TriggerData_Parameter_1 - 5 = Avg_V_N_Volts
• TriggerData_Parameter_2 - 9 = Avg_VL_VL_Volts
• TriggerData_Parameter_3 - 14 = Avg_Amps
