The RESMAN log file is the Resource Management task log, providing detailed logging information on user interaction with the task. The output file is nearly identical to the MATB-II equivalent.

MATB-II Compatibility

Near compatibility with the caveat of some limited whitespace differences.

The new configuration options unique to Cedar are listed additionally in the log file header, the Tank Levels in Units section. This refers to some initial primary tank levels and the minimum and maximum for the primary tanks.

Example Log File Snippet Explanation

The log file begins with a header detailing the timestamp and filename of the log file, then a plain text formatted table of log entries. Initial tank parameters are also listed in the header (see Config File Guide for more information on setting these parameters).

The JSON format variant just lists the columns and rows of the plaintext file. Column titles are not listed in the JSON variant.

 

Column	Format	Meaning
-ELAPSED TIME-	00:00:00.4 (hour:minute:second:tenth of second)	The timestamp of the event in question.
-PUMP ACTION	Integer	The pump number to which the log row data pertains.
-TANK UPDATE	y/n	Whether the log row is part of a scheduled tank update – designed to track the levels of the tanks over time to give an indication of the users performance in the task.
-TANK (A-D)	Integer	Tank levels at that moment in time.
