Configuration of a CSVDataLog or a DataStorePlus ActiveX control

Configure the CSVDataLog or the DataStorePlus ActiveX control to:
  • Never start a new log file
  • Start a new log file after an elapsed time
  • Start a new log file at a specified time
  • Automatically delete old data log files
  • Configure how the data being collected is stored in a log file
TIP:
  • The CSVDataLog or the DataStorePlus ActiveX control has the same functionality on a Windows desktop and a
    PanelView Plus CE
     platform.
  • The value of the
    FileLocation
    property on a
    PanelView Plus
     terminal begins with
    \Storage Card\
     or
    \Storage Card2\
    . The value of the
    FileLocation
     property on a
    PanelView Plus 7
     or
    PanelView Plus 6
     terminal begins with
    \My Documents\
     or
    \Storage Card2\
    .
  • When using a
    PanelView Plus CE
     terminal, the data access from the CSV file will not be as fast as the Windows desktop platform. This may be noticeable for CSV files with more than 1,000 rows.
  • It is not recommended to use a floppy drive to store or read CSV files with the ActiveX control due to the slower read and write access speed of the floppy drive. A hard drive or flash memory is recommended.
  • Test the runtime performance to ensure the file access is performed in a timely manner.
