The Data Log screen is the default when Data Log is selected from the PowerChute Business Edition menu. This screen reports the most recent UPS data and the date and time the data was sampled. The data reports are sorted by date, then time, with the most recent data appearing at the top of the screen. 

In addition to the date and time, the Data Log screen can be configured to report the following: 

  • Minimum Line Voltage (VAC): The lowest input voltage, in volts AC, logged during the recording interval.
  • Maximum Line Voltage (VAC): The highest input voltage, in volts AC, logged during the recording interval.
  • Input Line Voltage (VAC): The AC voltage being provided to the UPS at the time that the entry is made in the data log.
  • UPS Output Voltage (VAC): The voltage, in volts AC, supplied by the UPS to its supported equipment.
  • Battery Voltage (VDC): The voltage, in volts DC, on the UPS's battery bus.
  • Output Frequency (Hz): The frequency, in Hertz, of the output voltage.
  • UPS Load (%): Percentage of the UPS rated load that supported equipment used during the recording interval.
  • Internal UPS Temperature (°C): The UPS temperature in degrees Celsius.

    • Note: If the UPS has no internal temperature sensor, this column is blank.
  • Temperature Probe 1 (°C): The ambient temperature in degrees Celsius (this column is blank unless an Environmental Monitoring device is attached).
  • Temperature Probe 2 (°C): The ambient temperature in degrees Celsius (this column is blank unless an Environmental Monitoring device is attached).
  • Humidity Probe 1 (%): The relative humidity as a percentage of total humidity (this column is blank unless an Environmental Monitoring device is attached).
  • Humidity Probe 1 (%): The relative humidity as a percentage of total humidity (this column is blank unless an Environmental Monitoring device is attached).
To delete all data records in the data log, click "Clear Log" at the bottom of the screen. When prompted to confirm the deletion, choose "OK" to delete the entire contents of the log. 
Configure Log
The Data Log Configuration screen allows you to configure the data log recording parameters or create a custom view of the data log using the Filter Data Log View tool. 

You can configure the following data log recording parameters: 

  • Enable Data Logging: Check to enable data logging. This will log all data parameters described in the Log section.
  • Data Log Entry Expiration: Determine a limit of how long data should be maintained. Select from a range of one day to one year.
  • Data Recording Interval: Choose a rate at which to record data. A smaller recording interval will result in a larger log file. The recommended value is 20 minutes.
Filter Data Log View allows you to customize your data log screen, which can display up to eight columns of data in addition to the date and time of the data record. You can select a different parameter for each column to display, or select "None" to leave a column empty. The tool affects the display of data only; all data will still be recorded. Click "Apply" to complete your changes.
