Function Block Command: Log Data

Basics:
The "Log Data" command gives a simple way to log data to a Text or HTML file.

Details:
The Value cell opens a dialog (Figure 1) to configure what data to log, the type of file, the file name, and if it should create a new file.

"Text to Log" uses the Expression Builder to select what information to log.

"Log Type" determines if the log file will be Text or HTML.

The radio buttons determine if the file name will be a static constant or a dynamic name retrieved from an application signal.

"Overwrite File if it exists" is self explanatory and can help prevent filling the user's data directory with many log files.
