9.3.4 Logger Settings
In the Logger Settings dialog box, you can choose to keep the log data only temporarily in the RAM
or save it to a log file. For this, you can specify the logging intervals as well as the directory and the
file to which the log data will be saved.
Cache Size
Specify how much RAM you want to allocate to data logging. The cache acts as a ring buffer. If you
increase the cache size, more entries will be buffered in the RAM.
Use File Logging
Select this check box if you also want to save the data to a file.
File Settings
Maximum Disk Space
Specifies how much disk space may be occupied by log data. When the value you set here is
reached, the old files are deleted. This setting serves to prevent the log files from taking up all the
hard disk space.
NOTE:
When the selected setting is reached, the Logger will automatically delete files from the
directory without a confirmation prompt.
Directory
Specifies the directory in which you want to save the log files.
File Prefix
The file name is made up of the prefix followed by a sequential number and the date and time.
Save Every ...
Specifies the interval at which the file will be saved if the cache in the RAM has not yet completed
one loop. When the ring buffer is full and the write interval time has not been reached, the ring buffer
loops around more quickly and the old data in the ring buffer is being overwritten.
NOTE:
When you save to a flash drive, the number of writes is limited. The fewer writes, the
longer the lifetime of the flash drive will be.
New File Every ...
Specifies when a new file will be started. This facilitates the evaluation.
File Name Example
The display field shows an example of a file. Here you can see where the log files are located and
what the file names look like.
