Types of Files
The following three types of files are zipped and archived. The file name for each includes the date and
time zipped, e.g., Diagnostic_03.02.09_14.24.50.zip (zipped on March 2, 2009 at 2:24:50 pm).
Log (.apd, .zip) – contains all data displayed in the APDiagnostics interface in text format.
Can be loaded when the program is opened in Emulation mode to view data for trend analysis
and troubleshooting; see page 91.
Packet (.acp) – contains all system activity data (packet transactions between APDiagnostics
and the enclosure) in libpcap format. Advanced users can open .acp files with a packet/
network analyzer, such as “Analyzer” (http://analyzer.polito.it/).
Activity (.log) – displays system activity in the Activity Log dialog box in text format.
