Setting automatic export to preserve data history

Use the following procedure to preserve data history when using automatic export. For each export, automatic export will write data to a new file instead of overwriting the same file every time.

  1. From any view (except the Plex Map view), perform one of the following actions:
    • On the view toolbar, click the Properties GUID-149F1B0D-5FF3-4630-BD80-12F70096D636-low.png button.
    • Right-click the view tab or the blank part of the view toolbar, and select Properties.

  2. On the Refresh tab of the Properties dialog box, check the Preserve history with each refresh box. Each refresh writes the current view data to the viewDataFile.1 file and also creates an additional file with an incrementing numeric extension. The previous viewDataFile.1 file is saved with an extension of .2. Each refresh causes the extension of previously exported files to increase by 1 (the .1 file becomes .2, .2 becomes .3, and so on).

    Warning

    Important

    You must manually manage the files that accumulate.

  3. (optional) In the Number of history files box, select the maximum number of history files to accumulate.The default value is 20.

  4. Click the Start button.

    Success

    Tip

    You can use the MVE Viewer to see current data or historical data at the same time. Use the Previous and Next buttons and the Current button on the toolbar to control which short-term history file you are viewing.
