Datalogger Non-Responsive

Post by chagnonp » Thu May 12, 2011 9:17 am

I am having a problem with my datalogger in my configuration. At first I thought I had an issue that it would not output the log file to a flash drive. I then set up a text gauge to monitor the datalogger file size (Datalogger.LogSize) and it never changed from 0. I had no issue in Config version 2.1, but it seems that since I switched to 2.2 when it came out I lost the ability to record/output/clear any data. Any ideas?

Additional Info:
- I am using a state machine that calls the correct actions to start/stop/clear/output
- I am using the Dataloger.OutputError/Complete events for error detection. Neither event takes place when Datalogger->Output ((Empty)) is called in the state machine
- I have tried other PV750 screens to be sure it is not a hardware issue
- Datalogger data file setup is factory default

Any help is appreciated.

Hello chagnonp,

Where there other changes besided upgrading from 2.1 to 2.2?

Did you delete any variables?

Thank you,

Hi ChagnonP,

Here is a data logging configuration that should work. Hopefully this will get you going.

I've been out for a few weeks, so I just got around to testing this. Your configuration does work fine on my screen. I opened up 2 instances of the configuration tool, compared side by side, and the setup is exactly the same, and I am still having issues.

I may have deleted variables, but how would that effect my datalogger? I am not trying to log any of the deleted variables.

Thanks,

Pete

Hello,

There was a bug in 2.2 when you deleted a variable before removing it from the datalogger.

The bug has been fixed with a patch, you can download it here:
