Section 6. Network Status and Resolving Communication Problems
6.2.1 Log Types
Transaction Log (tran$.log) – This log includes information on the
transactions that occur between the datalogger support software and devices in
the datalogger network. Examples of these types of events are clock
checks/sets, program downloads, and data collection.
Communication Log (comms$.log) – This log records information on the
quality of communications in the datalogger network. Three types of messages
are recorded: status messages, warning messages, and fault messages.
Object State Log (state$.log) – This log is used for troubleshooting an object
in the datalogger network. The information in this log conveys the state of an
object at a given time.
Low Level I/O Log (io$SerialPort_1) – This log displays low level incoming
and outgoing communications for a root device (i.e., serial port).
6.2.2 Using LogTool
LogTool can be opened from the Status Monitor, the LoggerNet Toolbar’s
Tools category, or the Troubleshooter. When the LogTool is first opened, two
logs are displayed: the transaction log and the communication log. The Object
State log and the Low Level I/O log can be displayed by toggling their
associated button on the toolbar.
