The Logged Data Files page lists the files of data that have been
logged by the NetRS, and allows you to perform several functions on
them. The files are organized in a directory tree structure. The Data
Files page shows one directory at a time, starting at the "root"
directory which is named ' / '. You can navigate to other directories by
clicking on the various folders shown in the listings.
The
Parent Directory link allows you to move up
from the subdirectories toward the root directory.
Contents
Each directory display shows a title header indicating the directory
path. This is followed by a table showing the directory contents.
All subdirectories (or folders) will be listed first, along with the
date and time that the contents of that subdirectory were last modified.
Next, all of the data files will be listed. Each listing will show the
name of the file, the date when it was last modified, and the size of
the file in bytes. Note that modification time is not the the file
creation time. It refers to the most recent time when data was written
to the file which usually is the time the data logging session ended.
Sorting
The directory listings can be sorted in one of several ways by clicking
on the column headings above the table. Clicking on Name will sort by file or directory names.
Clicking on Modified will sort by the
modification dates, from earliest to latest. Clicking Modified a second time will reverse the order of
sorting. Similarly clicking Size will sort in
order of increasing or decreasing file size. Regardless of sorting
method, all directory folders will always be listed first, followed by
the data files.
Downloading Files
Clicking on the icon or name of a data file will initiate the process of
downloading the file to the computer running your web browser. You
will be prompted for a directory and name for the file. The download
should begin once you click Okay or the equivalent button. During a
download, most browsers display a progress monitor showing how far the
download has progressed.
Deleting Files
Individual data files can be deleted from the logging memory by clicking
on the red X button
. File deletion occurs
immediately when
is clicked.
At the bottom of most directory listings there will be a line of
the form:
Delete ALL FILES AND SUBDIRECTORIES in this directory.
Clicking
will attempt to delete all files
and subdirectories shown on the page. A confirmation request will
appear before the actual deletion occurs. The Delete All function will
NOT delete any files that are being used for current logging. A
warning message will be displayed if the deletion does not succeed
completely.
