Import From Bailey CLS

MatLab .m File For Importing to MatLab
Import From Bailey CLS is a tool for reading data from Bailey CLS Log files. Bailey CLS (Configuration Loading System) is a program for data collection and configuration from Bailey Canada (now ABB) for use with the DCS they manufacture. Communication is between a PC and a CIU over a serial line. The CLS program uses Templates (where the list of variables to be collected is stored so that re-entry is unnecessary) and stores the collected data in ASCII (text) format in a Log file. Analyse-Plus does not replace CLS. Instead, Analyse-Plus reads both the Log file and the template file to import the data in the Log files. If you do not need to import Bailey CLS Log files, this option is of no use to you.
When importing Bailey CLS Log files, you can specify exactly which columns of sampled data you want to import. Unlike many spreadsheet programs, the number of samples is limited only by available memory. After you import the file, you can use it like any .CSD file as if you had collected it with the DataLogger. Normally you would Save the .CSD file so that you don't need to import it again and delete the original Log file.
Naturally, you can also import Bailey CLS Log files using Import From ASCII. Using Import From Bailey CLS offers the following advantages:
Import From QMM
This imports QMM .DAT files much like the Import From ASCII function. This
is much quicker than exporting from QMM to ASCII and importing because, for
multiple groups you have to "filter" by group each time. With Import From QMM,
you simply click on the group name or number you want. In addition, the Tags
(names of variables) are automatically found in the DAT file and saved in
the Analyse-Plus .CSD file format. There's also
a customizable "recipe" for creating default file names to save you time.
If you have the original .CFG file, it will also find the Description and
Units of each Tag (provided they were included in the .CFG file as comments).
It calculates the average Sample Period and finds the date and time when the data collection
started. These values are also saved in the .CSD files. You can override the
Sample Period.
QMM is a network data collection program made by Metso Automation Canada (formerly Valmet Automation Canada) for use with the Damatic DCS & QCS. Import From QMM is only useful if you have QMM. You must have QMM's data conversion utility QDACV.EXE on your hard drive. This software is not included with Analyse-Plus and cannot be provided by Givens Control Engineering Inc.
MatLab .m File For Importing to MatLab
This .m file can be executed from within MatLab and will import Analyse-Plus
data files (.CSD) directly. Virtually all versions of MatLab and of
Analyse-Plus have been tested.
