Examples
  • Syntax to convert to a CSV List file:
    FTViewFileViewer.exe /md process.log process.csv /tz8
  • Syntax to convert to a CSV Table file:
    FTViewFileViewer.exe /md process.log process.csv /tz8 /table
  • Syntax to open a file when the Viewer is launched:
    FTViewFileViewer.exe /sd datalog.dat
  • Syntax to export all SE RecipePro files:
    FTViewFileViewer.exe /folder C:\rcpfFolder\ C:\csvfolder\
  • The
    AppStart
    macro command can start the
    FactoryTalk View
     File Viewer utility. However, to run and do a task in the background, the
    FactoryTalk View
     File Viewer utility requires command syntax.
    For
    FactoryTalk View SE
    , the files chosen to open can use command syntax /sd for a Datalog file, or /dbf for a dBASE file.
    If you don't specify a directory path, the file will be created in the same directory where the
    FactoryTalk View
     File Viewer.exe utility is located.
    There will be unexpected behavior if you place the
    FactoryTalk View
     File Viewer utility in these protected folders. A best practice would be to create and use specific "user" directory for any files that are to be generated. For example, to convert to a CSV file using a button on a
    Windows
     10 operating system, use the AppStart syntax as follows:
    AppStart “C:\Program Files (x86)\Rockwell Software\FTViewFileViewer.exe” /sd “C:\Users\Public\Documents\RSView Enterprise\SE\HMI Projects\Manning1303\DLGLOG\Run Report\2012 04 04 0000 (Float).dat” C:\folder name\test.csv
