Saving event logging files
The high speed data logger module temporarily saves events to the 'accumulating file' on the SD memory card that is inserted
in the high speed data logger module.
Since the size of an accumulating file becomes larger with time, a file is switched with the specified conditions.
The specified information such as date and time can be added to the file name.
The method for file switching and saving files is the same as that of the data logging file. For more details, refer to the
following:
However, "Trigger logging unit" cannot be specified for the file switching timing.

Transferring event logging files
Event logging files can be automatically transferred to an FTP server or shared folder, or mail server.
There are two methods for transferring event logging files.
• Transferring to the FTP server and shared folder (Page 94 File Transfer Function, Page 136 File transfer setting)
• Sending e-mail (Page 97 E-mail Function, Page 139 E-mail setting)
When transferring files to the FTP server and shared folder, the event logging file destination defers depending on the saved
folder specifications.
