First, choose where to send your data.
If you select Log to File, give your schedule for that channel a name in the First Characters of File

this schedule will form part of the filename wr itten to the hard disk in the MPC. The file name will

dd are the year, month and date respectively and are generated from the MPC’s internal Time at the

Click in the Compressed check box if you wish your file to be compressed.
Enter the amount of rollover time (in hours) in the Rollover field. If you enter 0, roll over is disab led .
You may also send your data to a Remote FTP site, as an e-mail file attachment, and a Stream User
Datagram Protocol (UDP) by clicking in their respective check boxes and entering appropriate
information in their required fields. The UDP message format is shown in Table 2 on Page 52.
