Chart Log Files


Intermapper can write chart data to a tab-delimited text file. You can specify separate log files for each chart, or you can send the data from several charts to a single log file.

To specify a log file to receive chart data:

  1. From the Chart dropdown menu (Pg. 1), select Log file. The Create Log File window is displayed.
  2. In the Log File Name text box, type the name of the new log file.
  3. Set the preferences for the new log file using a window similar to the example on the right. For more information on creating log files, see Log Files (Pg. 1).
  4. Click OK.

Each line of the tab-delimited file contains a date, timestamp, and the current values of the variables defined by the chart.

To stop logging data to a log file:

  1. From the Server Preferences area of the Server Settings window, select the Log Files (Pg. 1). The Log Files panel is displayed.
  2. Select the file for which you want to stop logging data.
  3. Click Remove. The file is removed from the list and chart data is no longer written to that file.
