Good morning Andy,

Thanks for your question. The current course is based on View Studio 8.0 as it was filmed a few years ago.

While I do plan to re-film the course in the coming months (the update will be free to all existing students,) below are some brief descriptions of the two new features you mentioned:

– The CSV Export editor allows you to setup exporting of audit, alarm, and diagnostics information to CSV files at run time, and they recommend you export this information to an external storage device like a USB Flash Drive. Sadly, it will not export datalogs.

– The Audit Trail (enabled under Startup) records information about operator actions at run time, and can be displayed in an Audit Trail List object, similar to how Diagnostics can be displayed in a Diagnostic List object.

Hope this helps,

Shawn Tierney,
Instructor at The Automation School
