Daniel MeterLink also saves a configuration file from the meter with the same filename except with a .cfg extension.

While a Maintenance log is running with the Microsoft Excel format be careful not to close the instance of the Excel® application that is collecting data. Doing so causes Daniel MeterLink to abort the Maintenance log and all data will be lost.

Table

The largest area of this dialog is for the displaying of collected data. The table is updated after each record is collected. Once the data collection completes, additional rows are added to find the average, minimum, and maximum for each data column. Scroll bars are provided to allow you to view the data even while the data collection is in progress. The data and time columns are fixed to the left so that they are always visible even when scrolling to the far right. The header row is also fixed so that it is always visible while scrolling down through the record list columns for System Status and StatA through StatD are alarm bit maps displayed as a hexadecimal format. A 0x0000 indicates no alarms present. If a cell is showing an alarm, you can move the mouse cursor over the value on the table in order to display a tip explaining exactly which alarms are present.

Duration (mins):

Enter the amount of time for Daniel MeterLink to collect information from the meter. Daniel MeterLink collects as many sets of records as it can during the time specified. You can only enter whole numbers for this value up to 999999.

While the duration can be set up to 999999 minutes, the Maintenance log record collection will automatically stop once 3600 records have been collected. A prompt will be displayed saying the limit has been reached and clicking OK will generate report with the records collected.
