How Much Datalogged Information Can be Stored?
Each Sixlog file is allocated a fixed amount of memory. Each record typically contains a time stamp (4 bytes), analog values (2 bytes each), and discrete values (8 per byte). The size of the record is automatically computed and displayed for you by the Sixlog software. The overall storage time (until the oldest data in a full file is overwritten by new data) is computed as:
Longest storage = (file size) x (capture interval) / (bytes per record)
Example:
  • 16 analog values plus a time stamp ( 32 + 4 = 36 bytes) are logged every 5 minutes into a 400K file.
  • Oldest data = 400,000 (approx) x 5 minutes / 36 bytes/record = 55,555 Minutes (38 days)
By default, the VT-MIPM  / mIPm+ has more than 400K for datalogging.

Adding I/O to a Mini-VersaTRAK mIPm / mIPm+
  • Any combination of EtherTRAK-2 , EtherTRAK and RemoteTRAK I/O modules can be connected to a Mini-VersaTRAK mIPm / mIPm+.
  • A single Mini-VersaTRAK mIPm / mIPm+ supports up to 256 EtherTRAK and/or RemoteTRAK I/O.
Why Mini-VersaTRAK mIPm Instead of other Sixnet Controllers?
  • Mini-VersaTRAK mIPm+ offers 32 Megabytes of fast dynamic memory and 64 Megabytes of Flash disk.
  • mIPm+ includes bundled software applications (AGA gas calculations and DNP-3 time stamped communications) for the utility industries make your job easier.
  • Mini-VersaTRAK mIPm  / mIPm+ offers built-in I/O, Ethernet and up to four serial ports.
  • The embedded LINUX operating system in the Mini-VersaTRAK mIPm / mIPm+ offers greater programming flexibility and performance than the legacy VersaTRAK / Mini-VersaTRAK RTUs.
