Data Logging Configuration

The "Data Logging Configuration" (ODX>Data Logging Configuration) is used to determine how snapshot data is saved. For more details on the snapshot function, refer to the sections User Views and Snapshots.

Note
Please note that only the data of user views configured accordingly are recorded in the snapshots. The snapshot icon at the extreme left of the title bar of the user views indicates whether the data of the relevant user view is recorded in the snapshot.

The settings which you specified can be exported to a file to be used later. Settings exported previously can be reimported from files exported previously.

The "DataLoggingConfig" window contains two tabs:

File
settings on file name and storage location of the snapshot
Header
meta information added to the snapshot data
