Logged Data Files

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.
