Spooler table

A spooler record exists for every RealTime database (RTDB) printer in the system. Event messages for all field devices that are assigned to a specific group are logged to the event spooler. Spooler records are stored in the spooler table and configured in the spooler Row Edit dialog box.

For the event messages where no specific group is appropriate, the designated system spooler is used. The system spooler (default) is designated as spooler 1 at system set-up and some applications must write to the system spooler (for example, checkCover and system alarms). Event messages for specific groups may be set to log to the system spooler or to another spooler as desired.

Note: The spooler record representing the default system spooler is required for proper system functionality. As such, this record should never be deleted.
