Rosemount 3493 LOGView

1. INTRODUCTION

Rosemount 3493 LOGView is a software package that works with the Rosemount 3493 Data Logging System.

LOGView allows the user to download the stored data from the Rosemount 3493 to the user's computer. The data
available includes up to 7000 sample values, 60 daily totals, and 60 maximum daily flow rates.

Within the LOGView software, the downloaded data can be used to produce reports, summaries, and charts, each
tailored to the user's requirements.

Many of the functions available in LOGView can be selected in more than one way: by cursor, menu, function key, or
dedicated button. At the top of each section of this manual there are details of the dedicated buttons and menu, the text
in brackets being the top level menu.

2. SOFTWARE INSTALLATION

LOGView is installed using a Windows installation program called Setup. This program creates any directories that
may be needed, and copies the program and other files required to run LOGView into these directories.

LOGView is installed into a program directory, by default 'C:\ LOGVIEW'.

Finally Setup creates a new program group and item in Program Manager so that the user can run Mobrey LOGView
by clicking on an icon on the Windows desktop

Requirements to run LOGView

LOGView is a Windows application program distributed on one CD. To install LOGView the following is required:

• An IBM-compatible PC (with Microsoft

• A CD-Rom / DVD-Rom drive.

• Approximately 1MB of hard disk available.

• 128MB RAM.

®

Windows® software installed).

Installation

Insert the LOGView CD into the CD-Rom / DVD-Rom drive. Then, start the Setup program from Windows; this is
typically done by clicking on “Start”, clicking on “Run”, typing in “D:\LOGView\Setup", and then finally clicking on “OK”.

Figure 1.

If is chosen (Figure 1), the screen will then ask where the program is to be installed. The default
location of “C:\ LOGVIEW” will be displayed. If a different path is required, edit the “Install To:” text box (Figure 2).

3. THE STEPS TO COLLECT DATA

Connect the PC to the Rosemount 3493 Data Logging System by using the communications lead provided. If a
different connection lead is required, see Appendix A.

Important: Ensure that the correct communications port is selected. There is a default setting that can easily be
changed in the Serial Port command from the Configuration menu.

Click on the button or press F2 to collect all of the data from the Rosemount 3493.

After collecting the data, it may be saved in a 'CSV file'. Click on the “Save Data” button or press F3. See “Saving Data”
on page page 5.

4. SAVING DATA

There are two formats for saving data. The first option is as the standard CSV format, in which case all the data
collected is saved as one file. The second format saves the data in a monthly CSV format, and automatically joins
together all the data from one month in one file.

All of the LOGView data is in Comma Separated Values (CSV) format.

Save Data As CSV File Format (File Menu)

Same as: from

After you have collected Data from the logger you should save it in a CSV File. The "Save Data As CSV File" button
displays a file dialogue box for you.

LOGView automatically offers you a filename that consists of the unique ID and a three digit number. That number is
the next after the highest number found in the CSV sub-directory.

NOTE:

Data is saved with the current international settings of your PC.

Write/Add To Monthly CSV File (File menu)

Alternatively the data can be saved in a monthly file.

Same as: from

A monthly file can be automatically built up from a number of data collections. If a monthly file is not complete, you can
add data from subsequent CSV files that contain data from that month.

NOTE:

You can only append Data at the end of a file, not at the beginning or in the middle.

A Dialogue Box is displayed to give you information on which files will be created. It includes a List Box "Monthly CSV
File Actions". This box shows all monthly file actions that could be possible for the current data. After each file one of
four possible comments is displayed:-

• No action.

• Add data to file.

• Create new file.

• Error in file.

LOGView automatically builds up the file names from the Unique ID (5 digits), Year (2 digits) and one letter for the
month: A= January etc.

When saving a data file which starts in February and ends in April, the dialogue box may say:

0000296B.CSV = February 2007: No action

0000296C.CSV = March 2007: Add data to file
0000296D.CSV = April 2007: Create new file

5. OPEN DATA (FILE MENU)

Same as: from

The Open Data dialogue box is displayed to open an existing CSV file. LOGView keeps track of the documents you
last worked on. You can quickly open one of the last 6 files used by selecting it from the bottom of the File menu.
Alternatively it can be opened in the normal Windows manner.

An example of a typical data file has been included in the CSV files sub-directory - it is named example.csv.

This example file was created with dates and numbers in the standard UK format. If the PC is set to a different format
the file may still be opened by using the Open Data International option from the File menu. A dialogue box will
prompt for alternative date and number formats.

6. TABLE (VIEW MENU)

Same as: from

Select the table command/button to select the table window. Once data has been collected or loaded by opening a file,
it can be tabulated in several different ways.

Sample Table

The Sample table contains the transferred data consisting of sample numbers, dates and times of samples, sample
values and flags. The flags tell you whether there were any of the following actions within that sample period:

• FL = Fast Logging

• LE = Lost Echo or Fault

• LE+FL = Lost Echo and Fast Logging

This table also shows information about a Power failure.

• Header table
This table contains the information from the Rosemount 3493Rosemount 3493 header block or the CSV file

header block.

• Other table
This table gives information about Totalizer, Total Flow and Max. Flow values.

• Day table (summary)
This table gives information about daily summaries. Summaries include values of Night Flow. The duration of the

night may be defined in Summary in the Configuration menu

• Day/Month table (summary)
This table shows all daily summaries for one month in one table.

• Month table (summary)
This table shows the summary of one month.

Tables may be navigated by clicking the right mouse button or by selecting , or simply by using cursor keys.

7. CHART (VIEW MENU)

Same as: from

Select the chart command/button to select the chart window. In this window the sample data or daily totals may be
charted against a variety of timebases. The different chart types are:-

• Samples chart
Line chart of the sample data.

• Total chart
Bar chart of the daily totals.

• Daily chart
Chart of sample data for 24 hours. The 24-hour period does not necessarily have to start at midnight. For example,

you can chart data from 08:00 to 08:00 the next morning.

• Weekly chart
Chart of sample data or totalizer data for 7 days. The first day does not necessarily have to be Monday. For

example, you can chart data from Wednesday to the following Tuesday.

• Monthly chart
Chart of sample data or Total data for one calendar month.

• (Chart bar)
Click on the button or press F7 to get a list of all available chart types there are. ie. Daily chart, Weekly

chart, Monthly chart, "Between Specified Times" chart "Show All" chart and "Average day" chart.

• Average day
This chart is available for the sample data and, for each time of the day, it plots the average value of all the samples

in the data file. So, for example, a chart of the typical flow for a month may simply be produced.

The appearance of the charts may be customised by selecting Chart via the Configuration menu or by clicking the
right mouse button. This also allows the addition of maximum and minimum limit lines as well as a cursor line which
allows peaks and troughs to be identified accurately.

8. PRINT (FILE MENU)

Same as: from

Displays the Print Dialogue Box. It is possible to print out any of the tables, charts or summaries outlined below:-

• Daily Summaries
You can select the days you want to print. The table "Day" and all Sample Data will be printed per Day.

Note that a value in a rectangle indicates the number of missing samples due to a power failure.

• Monthly Summaries
You can select the months you want to print. The tables "Month" and "Day/Month" will be printed for each month.

• Current Chart
Prints the current chart with limit lines (if selected) but without the cursor line. The Current Chart option is disabled

(greyed-out) if you have no chart view (window) of the data.

• Print Button
The Print button prints the current chart or table. Set up the printer using the preferences option in Windows

• Chart Print Setup

Displays the Chart Print Setup Dialogue Box where the line or bar colour, line width, bar style, and the border
