Minimum status

Selection – Defines the minimum measured value status for a value. If the status is worse than that stated here, no processing will take place.

Export period

Selection – Specifies the time period to be exported. The “Last export date” parameter is used as the basis.

• Daily: Starting on the day after the last export date. An export is carried out every day.
• Monthly: A full month starting from the last export date. An export is carried out for each month.
• Annual: A full year starting from the last export date. An export is carried out for each year.

Time span

Defines how the time span of the action is determined.

• Latest: The time elapsed between the last record and the time of execution.
• Complete: The entire time span, starting from the timestamp of the first record.
• Number of days: Full days in the past, counting from the time of execution.
• Time range: Specify the start and end times precisely.

Last [Export / Calculation] date

The timestamp of the record processed by the last successful operation. Only active if “Latest” is selected as the time span.

Time range

Start date / End date – Specifies the time range during which the action is to be carried out. Only active if “Time range” is selected as the time span.

Test mode

Yes / No – In test mode, data is processed from the time of execution. The time span is calculated using the “Offset for test mode” parameter. The “Last export date” parameter is ignored and is not updated. This means that the export for a given period can be carried out multiple times.

Offset for test mode

Selection – Defines the time span for “Test mode”, depending on the “Export period” parameter.

• Daily “Export period”: Number of days in the past, starting from the current day. The current day is not included.

Selection – Select the fields for output. Different formats are available for dates and numbers.

• For S1–S3, the number is displayed with the relevant decimal places, but without any separators (e.g. S3: 32452).
• For some fields, a fixed character length of between 1 and 100 can be defined. If the value is shorter, spaces are added to make up the length; if it is longer, it is truncated to the defined character length. The variable “Value” is an exception. For this variable, the specified character length is achieved using leading zeros. The default value of 0 means that the length of the field is not changed.
