Omnilog Task Wizard Overview

The OmniLog Task Wizard is a task scheduling application that runs within the OmniLog Data Management Program. The user sets up a schedule of task to be carried out automatically at particular times. Tasks can be carried out once or repeated at regular intervals between a Start and Stop Date Time. The Task Wizard carries out the tasks and logs the results.

The Task Wizard can read Data, Realtime values and Alarm Status from loggers on Comm Ports and Modems and send this information to users via Email and automatically generated Web Pages. This assumes that the computer running the OmniLog program has internet access.

Tasks include:

• Get the Dataset from a Logger on a Comm Port or Modem
• Get the Real Time Data from a Logger on a Comm Port or Modem and Email it
• Get the Real Time Data from a Logger on a Comm Port or Modem and Email it in a Cell phone Text message format.
• Get the Real Time Data from a Logger on a Comm Port or Modem, Create a Web Page and post it to a WWW server using FTP
• Get the Real Time Data from a Logger on a Comm Port or Modem, Create a Hand Held Device Web Page (.hdml) and post it to a WWW server using FTP
• Get the Dataset from a Logger on a Comm Port or Modem, Create a Web Page and post it to a WWW server using FTP
• Check the Alarms of Loggers on Comm Ports or Modems and Email Message If the Alarm is Active
• Check the Alarms of Loggers on Comm Ports or Modems and Email the Alarm Status
• Get a Dataset and export in Excel format
• Get a Dataset and export in CSV format
• Get a Dataset and export in Leading Zero Text format

Each Task can specify the comm port to use, The phone number of a remote modem, the email address and/or WWW server to use. If enabled, the Task Wizard checks for tasks every minute and carries out any pending tasks in the order they are entered into the schedule. There is no limit to the number of tasks that can entered into the schedule. Some tasks can take up to 50 seconds so a large number of tasks scheduled for the same time will cause delays. When the Task Wizard is in operation it takes over control of the OmniLog Data Management Program
