In this particular case, the total amount of memory for data logging is 127,420 bytes. The size of each
Data Record is 8 bytes. Therefore, the total number of Data Records that can be stored is 15,927, which
is the whole-number quotient of 127,420 8.
The Maximum Data Time Span is the maximum amount of time that the maximum number of Data
Records will fill the available data logging memory. From the example configuration described in
Section 3.1, the Sample Interval is 60 seconds. The product of 60 seconds and 15,927 Data Records is
955,620 seconds, which is the same as 11 days, 1 hour, 27 minutes and 0 seconds. (If Alarm Messages
are also being logged, then the data time span will be less than the maximum calculated value.)
As described in Section 3.1.1:
The available logging memory is treated by ZENOSOFT
®
as a circular
buffer. Once the circular buffer is full, each newest Data Record overwrites
the oldest Data Record currently stored in the buffer.
Therefore, in this example, once 15,927 Data Records have been logged, the circular buffer will "wrap"
and the newest Data Records will overwrite the oldest Data Records stored in memory.
Another way to think of the Maximum Data Time Span: It is the maximum
time that any single Data Record will be stored by the ZENO
®
-3200.
You can monitor how many Data Records have been logged at any given time by typing menu option
N{ENTER} in the Data Retrieval Menu. The value that ZENOSOFT
®
reports will be a number between
0 and the maximum number of logged Data Records. Before the first circular buffer memory wrap, the
number will be less than the maximum number of logged Data Records. Once the circular buffer has
wrapped, the value returned will always be the maximum number of logged Data Records.
4.3. DELETING LOGGED DATA RECORDS
When you no longer want the ZENO
®
-3200 to store the set of current Data Records, you can delete all of
the logged Data Records by typing D{ENTER} in the Data Retrieval Menu. You will be prompted to
verify that you want to delete all of the logged Data Records.
IMPORTANT: You cannot undo deletion of logged Data Records.
4.4. DATA OUTPUT MESSAGE FORMAT OPTIONS
There are two types of Data Output Messages: real-time data output messages and retrieved data output
messages. You can set the format of each Data Output Message type using two line items available in the
System Functions Menu.
