Appendix E - USB Operation
Overview
There are 3 main uses for the USB.
• Ability to download a log of up to the past 50,000
errors, events, or jobs that can contain over 150,000
snapshots of critical dipsense information.
• Download, modify, and upload custom language
files
• Download and upload system configurations
•
This data includes most user-selectable and
user-configurable settings.
• This data does not include pump counters, error
and event logs, shot and sequence counters
USB Options
The only options for USB on the ADM are in Advanced
#4 , see page 64.
The first option is a checkbox that enables or disables
the downloading of the Error Event and Shot Data log
files. The Shot Data log runs during all operating modes.
The second option is the Erase icon which will reset the
last download date to a time where all logs can be
downloaded
. This will allow the user to download all
USB log entries, which may take over 2 hours if the log
files are full. The ADM does not monitor the USB logs to
alert the user when data may be overwritten. In order to
minimize download times and the risk of losing data it is
recommended that the user download the logs every 2
weeks or more often if the machine is used during more
than one full shift a day.
Download Log Files
If the “Enable Downloading of USB Logs” option is
checked, a USB stick-drive can be used to download the
log files.
To download the log files, insert a high-quality USB
stick-drive into the USB port in the bottom of the ADM.
The ADM will automatically begin downloading the log
files as well as the custom language file (DISP-
TEXT.TXT) and the system settings file (SET-
TINGS.TXT). The status of the download will be shown
in the Status bar. If an error occurs during download,
remove the USB stick-drive then re-insert.
NOTICE
Low-quality USB stick drives may lead to burning
out the USB port on the ADM. Use only high-quality
USB stick-drives.
