The Datalog 3 run time software relies on the following files: -
i.
Maps/drawings produced in BMP format, using a drawing package.
ii.
Text help files produced using any ASCII text editor.
iii.
The set-up files produced with the Datalog 3 'Editor' program.

Operation Overview
The centre of operation for the Datalog 3 system is the main screen window.
The main screen is displayed at system start up. It contains a number of control buttons for the system,
which are enabled and disabled as required. In normal operation the map window contains the main site
map. The operator is returned to this screen after alarms have been accepted and reset.

Any input transmitted to the Datalog system from input hardware such as alarm panels would be defined
on the system as a zone.
on the system as a zone.
Should the input change state and cause an alarm on the system, the main screen’s map will change to
a map relevant to the area of the alarm and an icon will flash to flag the alarm position. Below the map
the alarm queue will display showing the date, time, and description of the alarm.

The alarm activation, reset and cause information are all time stamped and stored in log files, along with
the User name of the operator currently signed on. The log files can be reviewed and analysed in the
form of reports.

form of reports.
Much of the set-up programming of the system is performed at installation time. This includes:
Map definition and assignment
Zone set-up – Descriptions, input types, alarm types, positioning on maps
Zone groups – Grouping zones to simplify inhibiting.
Output groups – assigning output relays to groups and linking to activating zones
Help text – Help text can be written for alarm conditions and assigned to the zone.
Password protected menu options allow the operator to perform functions such as:
Inhibiting zones
Inhibiting Zone Groups
Manually switching outputs
Setting Time Zones
Setting Passwords
Zone Group Inhibits and Output Group switching can be timed using a timezone.
