View Full Version : Can't read PCO log files

Hi. I'm new to refrigeration engineering as of a couple of months ago. However, none of the other more senior members here seem to have a grasp on the ins and outs of logging system in 1-tool.

My first time retrieving a log from my pco5+ was a success. I got csv files with all of the public data I requested.

Subsequent tries however don't provide a csv file. Instead, I am given 4 files:

LOGPRJ.lct
PUBVAR.pvt
LOGS.swl
LOGS.BIN

The last two are the ones that clearly have data, judging by their sizes.

PCO Log Converter seems worthless as it only allows me to read csv files, and if I had a csv file I'd be done. There is also the option of "USB log" in the pCO manager. This allows me to select a dwl file and it says "conversion complete" or something to that effect, but again, no csv.

Opening these files in notepad only produces gibberish.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? How do I convert these files to a csv? Better yet, how do I get the pCO5+ to produce a csv?

Thanks!
