In the Logger Settings dialog box, you can choose to keep the log data only temporarily in the RAM or save it to a log file. For this, you can specify the logging intervals as well as the directory and the file to which the log data will be saved. Cache SizeSpecify how much RAM you want to allocate to data logging. The cache acts as a ring buffer. If you increase the cache size, more entries will be buffered in the RAM. Use File LoggingSelect this check box if you also want to save the data to a file. File SettingsMaximum Disk SpaceSpecifies how much disk space may be occupied by log data. When the value you set here is reached, the old files are deleted. This setting serves to prevent the log files from taking up all the hard disk space.
NOTE: When the selected setting is reached, the Logger will automatically delete files from the directory without a confirmation prompt. DirectorySpecifies the directory in which you want to save the log files. File PrefixThe file name is made up of the prefix followed by a sequential number and the date and time. Save Every ...Specifies the interval at which the file will be saved if the cache in the RAM has not yet completed one loop. When the ring buffer is full and the write interval time has not been reached, the ring buffer loops around more quickly and the old data in the ring buffer is being overwritten.
NOTE: When you save to a flash drive, the number of writes is limited. The fewer writes, the longer the lifetime of the flash drive will be. New File Every ...Specifies when a new file will be started. This facilitates the evaluation. File Name ExampleThe display field shows an example of a file. Here you can see where the log files are located and what the file names look like.
