PSX-NL4 Network Module - Operation Manual
3.4 Understanding The Email Report
The report file sent by email by the PSX-NL4 is sent as an unformatted .CSV file. Many programs, such as Microsoft Excel, will import
a .CSV file to allow viewing of the data (See Figure 3.10).
The example in Figure 3.10 has been reformatted for better readability in Excel. The top three rows of data give the following basic
information:
Site ID BGO Chicago Office - This is set in the "Site ID" setting on the Configure Page of the PSX-NL4
Report Trigger Report Period - this is a periodic status report. The frequency of the status reports is set by the "Send
Period" setting in the Email Settings section of the Configure page.
Service Due No - The "Next Service Due" date set on the Configure page has not been reached.
Below the top three rows is data specific to the PSX-NL4 and any devices connected to it.
Device Name This column shows which device the associated parameter belongs to. In this example, the devices are
the PSX-NL4 and FP1.
Device Parameter This column shows the available parameters which are being monitored. These parameters vary de-
pending on the device(s) connected to the PSX-NL4.
Date/Time Stamp To the right of the Parameter column are columns with date/time stamps. These columns are the data,
measured hourly at the dates and times listed. The number of columns displayed is set by the "Select
Occurrences to Report" setting on the Reporting page.
