StreamLog is accessed through DiaLog. The main StreamLog GUI is opened using the StreamLog Tab of DiaLog, as shown below:

If you click on StreamLog, you will be asked if you wish to connect,

After Clicking ‘Yes’, a DiaLog will attempt to establish a connection,

This facility allows different users to access separate, secure sections of the StreamLog server with different user rights. Depending on the user type, various facilities will be available within StreamLog. The user types and rights are summarised in Appendix A.1.

Once StreamLog is installed on your system, DiaLog requires configuring to interact with the software. To do this, a dedicated configuration file supplied with StreamLog must be assigned:

“StreamLog.ssf”

The StreamLog configuration file must be placed within the parent DiaLog installation directory. This is arbitrary:

“C:\Program Files\Influx Technology”

This method is only required for the initial assigning of a ‘. SSF’ file. This configures DiaLog to allow access to the StreamLog features, and in future, all management of the configuration files can be performed within the StreamLog settings window in DiaLog. This is accessed using the StreamLog Tab as shown below:

Once the ‘Surefleet.ssf’ file is in place, the StreamLog Settings button will show you details of the Server and Database that you are connecting to as follows:

A new configuration file is assigned to DiaLog using the ‘Add Security StreamLog file’ toolbar icon at the top of the window.

Once a file has been selected, it is listed in the ‘Security files’ panel location. Multiple files can be assigned to an installation of DiaLog simultaneously. The highlighted file will be the one used by DiaLog to access StreamLog.

The ‘Filter’ panel allows a quick selection of specific loggers and data logs using filtering criteria.

• Vehicle— Allows the selection of specific vehicle registration.

• Logger— Allows the selection of a specific Rebel.

• From/To— Specify a date range for the data files.

• Size (MB)— Specify the size of the data files.

• DTC— Filter based in DTC count (can use >, <, = operands).

• Distance— Filter based on Distance covered (can use >, <, = operands).

• Event— Filter based on several trigger events (can use >, <,= operands).

StreamLog is a dedicated Fleet Management tool which utilises a secure central server, GPRS and WiFi connections. The system provides a complete remote management system for projects, engineers, vehicles and data loggers.

• Secure data storage.

• Collates all vehicle data files in one environment for access when required.

• Provides access to data for engineers from anywhere in the world.

• Redundant backup server system to ensure minimal downtime.

• Editable projects with assignable project managers, engineer teams, data loggers and vehicles.

• Search by date, VIN, Logger and data for specific items with filtering.

• Review and organise recorded data files.

• Upload and download IVD data files.

• Select several key data items to transmit to the server from each Rebel.

• Monitor data being captured and ensure successful data logging.

• Immediate review of data and indication of events.

• In-built oscilloscope tool.

• Remote reconfiguring of data loggers.

• Link to complete data files for detailed data analysis and create fleet reports.

Once started, the StreamLog interface opens, as shown below:

The software window for StreamLog is constructed from many key components, four of which are common to all views and control the majority of functionality:

The ‘Editors’ tabs allow the user to navigate amongst the main features in StreamLog for the selected item in the ‘Projects’ panel.

• Sessions— The tab provides information regarding the active and previous data logging sessions from the Logger.

• Loggers— The tab provides information regarding the loggers assigned to the configuration.

• Vehicles— The tab provides information regarding the events that have occurred during data logging.

• Engineers— The tab provides information regarding the engineers assigned to a project/configuration.

• Live View— The tab allows you to view the live data from the Logger.

• Fleet Overview— Tab provides statistical information related to various fleet parameters.

• Data Management— Tab provides information regarding IVD files created in the Logger.

• Fleet Reports— The tab allows users to create advanced reports using fleet parameter data.

The toolbar is situated at the top of the software screen and contains several key software features.

• StreamLog— Establishes communication with the StreamLog Server

• StreamLog Settings— Configuration of the communications between DiaLog and The StreamLog Server.

• Administration— Administration of Engineers, Vehicles and Loggers.

• Edit Configuration— Jumps to the ‘Configuration’ to allow changes to items logged etc.

• Send Configuration— Allows the Configuration to be assigned to the various Loggers.

• Request Log Data— Schedule Files to be downloaded.

• Scope List— Allows display of logged data on an Oscilloscope.

• Reports— Allows Logger Reports to be generated.

• Tasks— Allows the user to create automated transfer and alert tasks.

• Wizards— The wizards enable you to retrieve data and send configurations to a Logger.

• Log Off— This allows you to disconnect from the StreamLog Server.

This section shows all the steps involved in the initial set-up of the StreamLog server and its administration. Full details of the StreamLog workflow arrangements can be found in Appendix A.2.

Creating a Project

Within StreamLog, each engineer, data logger and vehicle is assigned a specific ‘Project’ relating them all to the same work. A ‘Project’ is created using the toolbar icon. (Project Manager user rights required.)

• Enter a project name. (Must be unique.)

• Enter a project comment or description.

• Click “OK” to create the ‘Project’.

Once a project is created, it will appear in the ‘Projects’ panel on the left-hand side of the window.

A ‘Project’ can be edited or deleted using the toolbar icons.

Database Administration

StreamLog allows adding and removing engineers, vehicles and data loggers from the database. This is performed using the DB manager, accessed by the Administration toolbar icon. (Administrator user rights required.)

Engineers - This tab allows the administration of all the ‘engineers’ on StreamLog.

• Click ‘New Engineer’ to create a new slot.

• Edit the ‘Properties’ accordingly (must be unique).

• Click ‘Apply’ to save the settings.

The ‘Apply’ and ‘Cancel’ icons can also be used for editing existing ’Engineers’.

Vehicles - This tab allows the administration of all the ‘vehicles’ in StreamLog.

• Click ‘New Vehicle’ to create a new slot.

• Edit the ‘Properties’ accordingly (must be unique).

• Click ‘Apply’ to save the settings.

The ‘Apply’ and ‘Cancel’ icons can also be used for editing existing ‘Vehicles’.

Loggers - This tab allows the administration of all the ’loggers’ on StreamLog.

• Click ‘New Logger’ to create a new slot.

• Enter the serial number (It must match exactly).

• Edit the ‘Properties’ accordingly (Must be unique).

• Click ‘Apply’ to save the settings.

The ‘Apply’ and ‘Cancel’ icons can also be used for editing existing ’Loggers’.

The tab also provides the option to:

• Check for revision updates— Select to automatically check for and await an update to the Rebel’s’Vehicle Structure.

• Retrieve Datalog files—Select to automatically retrieve the stored data files from the Rebel SD card. (StreamLog Workshop option.)

• Allow Connection to Server—Select whether to allow the Logger to connect to the server.

• Allows the user to remotely block the Logger from communicating and streaming to the server.

  Enable or disable Idle Stream Mode

The tab also allows the user to set the time within a selected logger remotely. This is performed using the toolbar icon.

This tab also provides the option to restart & reflash the Logger.
