How Behavior Models Operate      Enabling the IfData_LogToFile Behavior Model

Importing the IfData_LogToFile Behavior Model

Though NerveCenter ships with a large number of behavior models, not all these behavior models are included in the default database. To limit file size, NerveCenter's database contains only those behavior models that are most commonly used. You can, however, easily import the remaining models as needed.

Of the two models you will operate during the course of this tutorial, one model -- IfData_LogToFile -- must be imported before you can enable its alarm.

 
  To import the IfData_LogToFile behavior model:

1. From the client's Server menu, choose Import Objects and Nodes.

   The Import Objects and Nodes dialog box is displayed.

   

2. Select Browse.

   The Import File Name dialog box is displayed. This is where you select the behavior model you want to import.

   

3. Double-click the data_collection folder.

   The contents of that folder are displayed.

4. Select ifdata_logtofile.mod and then select Open.

   The Import File Name dialog box closes and your file name and path are displayed in the Import Objects and Nodes dialog box.

5. Select OK.

   NerveCenter displays a message box informing you that the model imported successfully.

6. Select OK.

   The IfData_LogToFile behavior model is added to the NerveCenter database. Its related alarm and poll are now available for use.
