before the Trend button becomes enabled. Click Trend to open a Save As dialog box to allow you

will start the Trend file creation. When the Trend file is finished, a prompt stating Log complete
in “C:\Ultrasonic Data\<Meter Name>\<Meter Name> trend <Date> <Time>.xls”. Open? Click
YES to close the prompt and open the Excel® file. Click NO to close the prompt but not open the
Excel® file at this time.
The Microsoft® Excel® Trend file contains two worksheets. The following is a brief description
of each.
Charts

laid out to print one chart per page on a standard 8 ½ x 11 sheet of paper. Click here for
information on customizing this worksheet.
Raw Data
This worksheet contains the Averages row from Maintenance Log Raw Data worksheets and the
rows or data from a Trend file Raw Data worksheet. Only the Technician level data values are
included in a Trend file. The rows are sorted from oldest to newest. The first column in each row
contains the filename of the Maintenance log the data comes from followed by the date and
time columns for when the Maintenance log was created.
5.10.1 Meter Archive Logs (Logs/Reports Menu)
The Meter Archive Logs dialog box allows you to collect historical log information from an
ultrasonic meter. This dialog box is only available while connected to a meter. If connected to a
Daniel Mark III Gas Ultrasonic meter, a valid LogAccessKey may be required before logs can be
collected. See the Key Manager for more information on enabling keys.
If the first file selected to trend does not have a standard filename starting with either
<Meter Name> maintenance log... or <Meter Name> trend... then the default filename
suggested will be just “trend <Date> <Time>.xls”.
