Logger Tile (version 24)

• Startup Arguments - filepath of the logger configuration file (lcf) that is read when the Canary Logger service starts

The Logger tile is a simple interface for configuring the Canary Logger service which is used for running the Logger Administrator. The Logger Administrator, otherwise known as the OPC DA Collector, is a separate administrative client used to configure a connection to an OPC DA server.

Configuration Screen

Arguments - filepath of the .lcf (logger configuration file) the service will open when starting. The lcf is created using the Logger Administrator.

• Example: "C:\Historian Data\Sample Data.lcf"

More than one lcf file can be listed if creating multiple logging sessions within the Logger Administrator. If the files exist in the same directory, only the filename is required for additional sessions. Filenames should be separated by a space and require double quotes if they contain a space.

• Example: "C:\Historian Data\Sample Data.lcf" Session1.lcf "Session 2.lcf"

Additionally, a delay can be built into the arguments field if the OPC server requires more time to start before the Logger connects. Delay is measured in seconds.

• Example: /delay:30 "C:\Historian Data\Sample Data.lcf"
