General about settings in StatLink

Storing historical data
There are numerous ways to store information about how your heating system is performing.
This chapter is describing how this can be achived in different ways.

Flat file DB, Stor e detail data to local disc
The logging format called Flatfile DB is a simple file based database that is used by StatLink to present its line chart diagrams.
The Flatfile DB is enabled by default when Statlink is installed.
Here are some options described.

Modify DB settings
Enter the setup menu and select the “DB / Logging” section.
Here you can change how often you want to write data. Default is every 2 minutes. Notice that a higher resolution will take more disk space.
If you logg all temperatures every 2 minutes the DB size will increase aprox. 100kB per day or 36Mb per year

Enable / Disable sensors and objects
You can choosewitch object’s informationto stor ein this log in the Monitored objects tab.
Select witch sensors you want to log.


Storing daily summary to local disc
In different views of StatLink you can view information collected since midnight. (See the “sensor table” chapter)
StatLink has a flexible way to log this information and both the intervals, contents and formats are customisable using the Actions and Templatesfeatures .
StatLink is preconfigured with an “Action” that is storing Intraday information at 00: 00every night for longterm reporting/calculation of historical informatino . A new row of data is added in the tab separated file “DayRpt.csv” witch can be opened and worked with in MS Excel.

In the StatLink directory there is a template file called “tDayRpt.txt”. The output file is generated from this template. Edit this file to change the contents and layout of the report. Please note that all stored information is in Integers and has to be devided by ten to get the correct information. For example, the temperature 22.7 degrees is stored as the number 227.
Runtime is stored in seconds and electri cal consumption i watt hours.

Reporting

Mail reports
StatLink has the possibility to schedule sending of emails containing reports. With use of a template-file you configure the layout and conten ts of the report. To make this work you must configure your email account settings in StatLink and also configure “Actions” for an email sending event

Report templates
To setup the layout and content ts of the reports you have to configure report templates. The way this is working is that you enter ”Tags”in the report template in positions where you want to present the information. When the template I processed by StatLink the tag is replaced by the actual
data for output in the report. Reports are generated when StatLink I running an ”Action” of type”Make Report”.
Please see the chapter about Actionsfor more information.

In theStatLink program directory there are someexamples of report templates that youcan view and customize for your own needs .

tWebRpt.html
A HTML template suitable to use for email reports or presentation on
your homepage .

tCSV.txt
A TAB separated template suitable to store data that is importable into
MS Excel.

This is a list of available Tags to use in the report templates.
%Time% Time now (eg. 10:35:55)
%Date% Date now (eg. 2005 -01- 01)
%YesterDate% Yesterdays date (2005-05-04)
%TotalkWh% Summaryof theintraday electrical consumption.
%NewRow% Inserts LF andCR to generate row change .
%SysID_X _Name% Shows the name of an Monitored Object
X=SysID. The table of all SysID’s is found in appendix B.
%SysID_X _Value% Current value in text. (eg. 10.2c, On/Off)
%SysID_X _Stat1% Intrad aystatisti cs, see chapter about the Objects table .
%SysID_X _Stat2% Intraday statistics, see chapter about the Objects table .
%SysID_X _Stat3% Intraday statistics, see chapter about the Objects table .
%SysID_X _tValue% Sam e as above but is presenting numeric values. (102, 1/0)
%SysID_X _tStat1%
%SysID_X _tStat2%
%SysID_X _tStat3%

Example of how you can build an templete…
Report generated %Date% %Time%
The Radiator temperature is: %SysID_1 _Value%.
The outdoor temperature is: %SysID_2_Value% and the Max temp today is:
%SysID_2_Stat3%.

The generated report will then look likt this …
Reportgenerated2005-12-20 13:55
The Radiator temperature is: 33.4c.
The outdoor temperature is: -2.3c and theMax temptoday are:1.2c.

Automated Actions
There is a functionality in StatLink to schedule events called Actions.
StatLink users manual

Things that can be automated is Sending emails, Take pictures and producing reports. You set up the Actions under the section [Actions] in the statlink.ini file.

Up to 9 Actions can be configured (1 -9).

Example of how to use Actions
Action to send an email containing an report of the yesterday data.
This event will generate a report based on the template ”tWebRpt.html” and send it by email at the
time 00:00 every day.
Act1-Name=Send Email report every day
Act1-Type=MakeReport
Act1-Input=C:\StatLink\tWebRpt.html
Act1-Interval=00:00
Act1-SendEmail=True


If you have a Web server and want to publish a page with info.
This event will generate a report based on the template ”tWebRpt.html” and wrie the result in the file
”WebInfo.html” every minute.
”Mode=Replace” means that the result fle is overwritten every time.
Act2-Name=Generate a web-page every minute
Act2-Type=MakeReport
Act2-Input=C:\StatLink\tWebRpt.html
Act2-Output=C:\StatLink\WebInfo.html
Act2-Mode=Replace
Act2-Interval=1
Act2-SendEmail=False

If you have a Web server and want to publish a picture of StatLink.
This event will generate a screenshot of StatLink and write it into the file ScreenShot.jpg every minute. Note that the screen shot function has some limitations. For the screen shot to work, the StatLink software cannot be minimized and no other windows should block the StatLink windows
Act3-Name=Make screenshot every minute
Act3-Type=MakePicture
Act3-Output=C:\StatLink\ScreenShot.jpg
Act3-Mode=Screenshot
Act3-Interval=1
Act3-JpgQuality=90


Action to log historical data in Excel importable format.
This event wil generate a report based on the file ”tCsv.txt” and write the result into the file ”Minutelogg.csv” every minute.
”Mode=Append” means that the result file will not overwritten. Instead it will be appended with new
data.
Act4-Type=MakeReport
Act4-Name=Save data to CSV file every minute
Act4-Input=C:\StatLink\tCsv.txt
Act4-Output=C:\StatLink\Minutelogg.csv
