If it is, then either the screen can be automatically updated, or the user is informed that new data has come in, and the screen can be updated manually by pressing the Update button. Script files can be created to automate the task of loading a series of data files and then printing a graph or report of the latest data for each one. Scripts can be run by the scheduler at specified times. Alarm Monitoring When a column is identified to Visual Log as containing alarm flags, that column will be monitored whenever newly collected data is processed and parsed by array number and appended the appropriate LOG file. When ever an integer value between 1 and 5 is detected, the corresponding alarm will be triggered.
Alarms consist of a message to display, and if desired, a phone number to be dialed by a modem.
