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.

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.

4.1 Save data as CSV file format

After you have collected data from the logger you should save it in a CSV File.
Procedure
Click the Save As button or select File → Save Data As CSV File.
LOGView automatically offers you a file name 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.
Data is saved with the current international settings of your PC.

4.2 Write/add to monthly CSV file

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.
Procedure
Click the Save as Month button or select File → Write/Add to Monthly CSV File.
A dialogue box is displayed to give you information on which files will be created. It includes a Monthly CSV File Actions list box.

4.2.1 Monthly CSV file actions box

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

4.2.2 Monthly CSV file names

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:
0000213B.CSV = February 2013: No action
0000213C.CSV = March 2013: Add data to file
0000213D.CSV = April 2013: Create new file

5 Open data

Menu bar
Toolbar
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 sub­directory - 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.
File → Open Data

Monthly chart
(Chart bar)
Average day
View → Chart
Line chart of the sample data.
Bar chart of the daily totals.
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.
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.
Chart of sample data or Total data for one calendar month.
Click the Other button or press F7 to get a list of all available chart types (i.e., Daily chart, Weekly chart, Monthly chart, Between Specified Times chart, Show All chart, and Average day chart).
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 customized by selecting Configuration → Chart 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.
