3 Logs
Log Types
LogView displays container data in four types of logs: temperature logs, event logs, pre-trip inspection (PTI) logs, and comment logs.
Though the logs are similar for all controller types, differences do exist. Sensor labels, event texts and codes, PTI reports, and header information may vary from controller to controller.
Another difference is that there is an extra step involved in opening uP-x logs. But in LogView the information is presented as similarly as possible.
Most of the data analysis and reporting tasks are performed in the log windows. It is in log windows that you view container data, open graphs, and generate reports.

Reports
About reports
Reports are a special form of the logs that are formatted for printing. Once created, reports can be printed or saved as files for later printing, archival, and distribution.
Reports can be generated from each type of log: temperature, event, PTI, and comment. There is a “Cold Treatment” report that gives a summary of the number of hours a cargo has been below a range of temperatures, and a “Smart Merge” report can be created that combines temperature and event records in a single report.
The LogView user settings allow you to design reports to suit your needs. It is a good idea to review the user settings before creating reports.
Creating a Temperature Log Report

Organizing Container Data
Recommended file location
Note: Saving files in the root directory of your hard disk is not recommended because the root directory contains critical system files, and placing all files in one directory makes them difficult to find.
It is recommended that you create a “My Containers” folder for all container data and place this folder in your “My Documents” folder. See
41 .
Risk of overwriting files
Log files are typically assigned a file name based on the container’s ID. If a container log file is stored on your computer, it may be overwritten by a second log file from the same container if placed in the same folder.
It is your responsibility to save log files in a safe archive storage location.
A suggested folder structure
A chronological folder system is a convenient way to organize container data. The suggested folder structure has a “My Containers” folder with sub-directories (folders) for each year. Each year folder has numbered folders for each month. Log files are saved in the month folders.
© 2015 Emerson Climate Technologies - Transportation Solutions ApS
42 Operating LogView
With this structure
All logs are in a common folder, which helps when using the search function.
You do not have to think about where to place new files.
Folders are listed in chronological order.
It is easy to identify obsolete files that can be deleted.
You will not accidentally overwrite earlier files from the same container.
If you have multiple files from the same container, it is easy to identify which one is the latest.
Creating the suggested folders
To create the suggested folder structure, follow these steps.
Step Action
1 Select the drive where your My Documents folder is located, usually C:, from the
Select Archive Drive dropdown list.
2 Open (double-click) your My Documents folder in Select Archive Path list box.
3 Drag the icon to the Select Archive File list box.
4 Enter “My Containers” in the New Directory dialog and click OK.
5 The My Containers folder appears in the Select Archive Path list box. Doubleclick it.
6 Again, drag the icon to the Select Archive File list box. Name the new directory for the year and click OK.
7 The folder appears under My Containers. Double-click the year folder to open it.
8 Drag the
icon to the Select Archive File list box. Name the new directory “01-
January” or something similar. (Numbering the month folders forces LogView to display them in order.) Click OK.
9 Repeat step 8 for each month.

Working with Archive Files
About archive files
In LogView, an archive file is a file that contains log data that LogView cannot read directly.
Archive files can come from proprietary data retrieval tools, REFCON, and data compression software such as WinZip. Files from these applications must be converted to LogView format.
Logs retrieved using the LogMan II, the LogMan or the Dru2 software are in LogView format and
