year/month information is not added to the log data output file names.
For details of the log data output file names, see "Specification of log
data output file name," below.
Specification of an automatic save interval for a log data output file
This parameter is valid only when the log data for all CNC machines is
output to a single file. This parameter specifies the automatic save interval
for a log data output file. The units are minutes, and a value from 0 to
44640 can be set. The contents of a log data output file are saved to an
external storage device at intervals of the specified value. If 0 is specified,
automatic saving is not performed during monitoring. The default is 60
minutes.
Specification of log data output file name
This parameter is valid only when the log data for all CNC machines is
output to a single file. This parameter specifies a log data output file name.
The standard Windows restrictions are imposed on the naming of files.
The default file name is "LOGFILE."
The actually created log data output file names are as follows:
• When log data is output to a separate file for each month
A character string representing year/month information is added to a
file name set with this parameter. When the specified file name is
"LOGFILE," for example, the following log data output file names are
created:
LOGFILE(1998-4).xls: Log file for April, 1998
LOGFILE(1998-5).xls: Log file for May, 1998
• When log data is output on other than a month-by-month basis
A file name set with this parameter is used as a log data output file
name.
When a specified file name is "LOGFILE," for example, the following
log data output file name is used:
LOGFILE.xls
If an attempt is made to create a new log data output file, but a file having
the same name already exists and the setting of "Create New Log File" is
such that overwriting is prohibited, a log data output file name with a serial
number suffixed is created as indicated below.
