4.3. Data Logging
4.3.1. Data Logging Settings
You must set data log before you use this function. To set it, do one of the following:
1) Click Settings > Data Log Settings.
or
2) Click the icon .

11
The Data Log Settings box is shown as Figure 4.4.
Figure 4.4. Data Log Settings
Device List: Displays all available devices which are working in data logging mode.
It also can enable or disable data logging of any device. Every listed item displays
the monitoring parameters of corresponding device.
Logging Items of Selection: You can select one or more valid logging items.
Logging Options: Select a listed item and then set monitoring parameters.
This option includes 5 aspects about the data logging, which are introduced as the
following:
1) Logging Data Interval: Setting the data logging interval indicates how often
the software will store monitoring results. It contains two formats, which are
minutes and seconds.
2) Log data until file full: The maximum row number of data logging per log file
is 64800. When the maximum number of records is reached, a new log file will
be created.
3) Specify log file duration：Set time for when to create a new log file. When the
time is reached, a new log file will be created.
4) Log file format：Set the format of a log file. It can be .txt or .csv or .xls. (Text file
format is recommended.)
5) Column Display Name：Set the name of column when monitoring the Pulse

12
Input and the Analog Input items in the data log file. It can be name or
name(unit).
Log file name: For users to set name of a log file. If the name of Log file is blank,
the default file name will be used. Click [Default] button to use the default file
name.
Log file folder location: For users to set the file storage Path. If the file folder
location is blank, the default file folder location will be used. Click [Browse] button to
set a file storage path.
Special Attention:
1) Device List -> Enabled
2) Logging Items of Selection
3) Logging Options
4) Log file name
5) Log file folder location
If there are multiple devices in the list, you must set all of the above monitoring
parameters for each monitoring device in the device list.
4.3.2. Now connect and pause for 5 seconds. Then click menu Operation -> Start Data
Logging or the icon to enable this function.
4.3.3. Click menu Operation -> Stop Data Logging menu or the icon to stop this
function if necessary.
4.3.4. View and analyze data
Find the data log files in the specified folder location. There is a folder named
MonData in the PXM1000 installation directory where all the data log files are stored
by default. By default, each file name consists of the device description, device type , port
(Serial mode) or IP address (Ethernet mode), device address and data logging starting
time whose format is YYYYMMDD (Year, Month, Day).
Make sure to follow the following rules before you open any Excel file:
Special Attention:
Never double click any EXCEL files (including data log files) on your
computer when data logging is active, otherwise it may cause the software to
become unstable and potentially produce inaccurate results (such as out-of-order
and loss of data etc.).
The correct options to open the excel files are:
1) Click Start > Program > Microsoft Office > Microsoft Office Excel to open
the Excel application. When the main window of Excel is open, click File >

13
Open and choose the desired files in the dialog box.
or
2) Copy the desired files to another computer and open them on that computer.
4.3.5. Data Log file
After you open a data log file of excel format, you can see the following items:
Real-Time: Real-Time Metering
Demand: Demand
Energy: Real-Time Energy
Energy(TOU): Current Month TOU
PulseInput: Actual value of Pulse Input
Counter: Digital Input Pulse Counter
AnalogInput: Actual value of Analog Input

When the data is saved as .txt and .csv, the file content is the same as the excel file, but
there is a difference. Each sheet of Excel will be saved as a separate text or CSV document.
The parmeters of the PulseInput and the AnalogInput are uncertain, according to the
settings page to display. All parameters in the table are shown as following:
Note: Your meter depending on the model and version may have different
parameters.
