 How to use muting statistics information
1. Carry out test runs including the muting in an actual installation environment.
Performing the muting allows the F3SG to log muting information.
If the F3SG used is secondhand, there may be logs of previous settings left in the F3SG.
If you do not need such logs, delete them by the [Clear log] button before enabling the muting.
Cleared logs cannot be restored once they are cleared. Save logs in advance, if necessary.
Logs can be saved as a .csv file by selecting [Retrieve log] and [Save analysis data].
It is necessary to perform the muting at least five times in order to obtain assumed data.
2. Connect SD Manager 2 to the F3SG and display the muting statistics information screen above.
3. Clicking the [Retrieve log] button to obtain logs saved in the F3SG during the test runs in Step 1.
Obtained data (table, chart and analysis data) is displayed in the screen.
