The Account Log File

<serialnumber>

The serial number of the device.

This number is a text string with a maximum length of 10 characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9). The serial number is provided by the PRISMAsync controller at the moment the account log file is created.

<yyyy><mm><dd>

The year, month and day the account log file was created.

<extension>

The file extension, either .CSV (Comma Separated Values) for inactive log files, or .ACL (ACtive Log) for the active log file.

For the current file, the file has the extension .ACL. At the end of the indicated period, the .ACL file is converted into a .CSV file. With the setting [New account log file] in the Settings Editor you indicate when a new account log file is created: per day, per week, per month.

The PRISMAsync controller can store a maximum of 99 .CSV files + 1 .ACL file. When the limit is reached, the oldest .CSV file is removed.

You can retrieve the account log files from the Settings Editor ([Configuration] -> [Accounting] -> [Download account log file] ) and import the files into Microsoft® Excel, for example.
