The transmitter automatically saves historical data of several types, including process and diagnostic variables, Smart Meter Verification test results, and totalizer values. To access the historical data, you can generate a log file, then view it on your PC.
WARNING
If the transmitter is in a hazardous area, do not remove the housing cover while the transmitter is powered up. Failure to follow these instructions can cause an explosion resulting in injury or death.
Prerequisites
If you want to generate a totalizer log, you must have previously configured the transmitter to record totalizer data. However, there is a totalizer history that is logged automatically.
Procedure
1. Select the type of log file that you want to generate.
2. If you selected historian data (process and diagnostic variables): a) Set the date and time for the first entry in the historian log file.
b) Set the number of days that the log file will include.
c) Select the record type.
Option
1 Second Raw Data
5 Min Average Data
Description
The current values of process and diagnostic variables, recorded at 1-second intervals.
The minimum and maximum values of the 1-second raw data over the last
5 minutes, plus the average and the standard deviation, recorded at 5-minute intervals.
The system provides an estimated file size or transfer time.
The log file is written to the specified location. File names are assigned as follows:
• Historian files: The file name is based on the transmitter tag, the starting date of the log contents, and the record type. The record type is shown as F or S:
— F=Fast, for 1-second raw data
— S=Slow, for 5-minute average data
• SMV files:
— SmvLast20Data.csv

16.1.1 Historian data and log
The 1600 transmitter offers a licensable Data Historian option. If enabled, the transmitter automatically saves information about specific process and diagnostic variables. You can generate a log from this data that tracks totalizers and inventories with 21 days worth of data. The historian log is an ASCII file in .csv
format.
Contents of the historian log
There are two types of historian records:
1-second raw data The current values of process and diagnostic variables, recorded at 1-second intervals.
5-minute average data The minimum and maximum values of the 1-second raw data, plus the average and the standard deviation, calculated and recorded at 5-minute intervals.
When you generate the log, you can specify which type of record you want to see.
The historian in the transmitter internal memory contains a minimum of 7 days of 1-second raw data and
30 days of 5-minute average data.
Each record contains data for the following process and diagnostic variables:
• Timestamp
— Format: Military time
— Time and time zone: Transmitter clock
• Mass flow rate (kg/sec)
• Volume flow rate (l/sec) or GSV flow rate
• Density (g/cm ³ )
• Line temperature (°C)
• External temperature (if available)
• Pressure (if available)
• If concentration measurement is enabled:
— Standard volume flow rate
— Net mass flow rate
— Net volume flow rate
— Referred density
— Concentration
• If API Referral is enabled:
— CTPL or CTL
— Corrected density
— Corrected volume flow rate

16.1.3 Totalizer log
The totalizer log can track four configurable totals. The period is configurable; you can configure the transmitter to save totalizer and inventory values at a user-specified interval and then generate a totalizer log.
The totalizer log is an ASCII file.
Contents of totalizer log
The totalizer log contains one record for each logged totalizer or inventory value. Each record contains the following information:
• Default totalizer or inventory name (user-specified names are not used)
• Value and measurement unit
• Timestamp
— Format: Military time
— Time and time zone: Transmitter clock
The totalizer log also contains a line item for each totalizer or inventory reset.
Note
• The historian totalizer log is configurable, but defaults to mass and volume totalizers logged at one hour intervals.
• The entire log saves 240 lines before rolling the last lines out, so 5 days of totalizer data are saved by default.

Read contract totals
You can read contract totals for the current 24-hour contract period and for the previous 24-hour contract period. Depending on the configuration of the totalizer log, you may be able to read contract totals for earlier periods.
The contract totals are derived from existing inventories. However, they are reset automatically at the beginning of each contract period. Therefore, the values shown will probably not match the values shown for the inventories.
Important
You can reset inventories manually, and you can stop and start inventories manually. However, if you do this, data for the current contract period will not reflect the entire 24-hour period. Data for earlier contract periods is not affected.
• The contract totals for the current contract period are stored in the Today's Total [1-4] parameters.
• The contract totals for the previous contract period are stored in the Yesterday's Total [1-4] parameters.
• The contract totals from earlier contract periods can be read in the totalizer log.
Configure contract totals into the totalizer log
The transmitter can be configured to store contract totals to the totalizer log. This allows you to access totals from earlier contract periods. Otherwise, the transmitter maintains data for only the current contract period
(today) and the immediately preceding contract period (yesterday).
