Hello,

I have a customer that wants to use the data logging function on a PV450. I believe the upper limit for the log memory is 32 MB.

Is there a way to estimate how much memory is used when logging data? e.g. I have 7 pieces of data that are 2 bytes each, plus 12 bit data entries. On top of this I want time stamps. And I assume that the names of variables will also be stored as headers.

So approximately 16 bytes of data plus the time stamp and header labels... Can I assume the headers only get recorded once? Will the 2-byte data only take up 2 bytes each or will it consume 4 bytes? How about the bit data, 1 bit each or more?

The customer wants to know how many hours he can record with data log rate at 1 second.

Thanks,
Phil
