PLEASE NOTE
The daily log is continued even if the sealing device is switched on and off once; i.e. a new daily
log is not started.
Opening and printing log files on the computer
The log files are simple text files and can be opened with the text editor of the computer.
A computer is initially not aware of the extensions of the log files. After assigning the file ending to the
program you can open this file type with a double click.
Alternatively, you can open the log files with the program MELAview
/
MELAtrace
.
Log folder structure
A directory with the encrypted sealing device serial number will be created on the CF-Card and the
computer.
The directory name consists of five characters identical with the first five characters of every log, e.g.
9K0EQ. Under this folder is a sub-directory containing the month of the protocol generation e.g. 10_2009.
This contains all logs generated by the sealing device this month.
