The historical “Data File Viewer” provides the ability to view all system and device data log files without leaving the application. Both archived and currently running data files may be viewed although currently running data files will not have electronic signatures.

The data viewer displays saved data in a spreadsheet format.  The different data cells can be selected for printing or plotting without additional setup.

When a file is opened, the “spreadsheet” will be filled with the logged data including the date and time that each point was recorded.  The header of each column will show the name of each data point so that they can be easily identified.  Groups of cells can be selected (dragged) for printing and/or plotting to a trend. Including the Operator Message column will include all messages in the trend plot.

The Electronic Signatures grid, below the data grid, is used to electronically sign data files.  For more information on Electronic Signatures refer to Digital Signatures – CFR21 Part 11

The toolbar icons for data file viewing are as follows (order from left to right):
