Email Data Logs

The meter can email logged data daily, hourly, or at any interval your ION software administrator configures. The logged data does not appear in the body of an email; the information is contained in an email attachment instead. The following illustration shows how an email sent by the Log Export module appears in your inbox:

Specifies from which Log Export module and meter the email comes.

Specifies which Data Recorder module logged the data

A unique attachment filename.

You can gather some information from the email without opening the attachment. The From column displays which Log Export module and meter sent the email (the meter is identified by its serial number). The Subject column tells you which Data Recorder is responsible for logging the data. The attachment has a unique filename which incorporates the meter’s serial number.

The email attachment is an eXtensible Markup Language (XML) document. Even though XML is a machine readable format meant to be processed by another program, you can still interpret the information contained within an attachment (see the illustration on page 237). This information can be taken from the XML attachment:

the name of the data log

the device (meter) type

the meter’s serial number

the meter’s owner

additional user-defined meter identification information labelled “Tag1” and “Tag2”

the record number

the UTC (Universal Coordinated Time) that the data was recorded

the names of the logged data fields (e.g. Vln a, Vln b, Vln c)

the numeric values of the logged data
