EA-1 User Manual
30
communication commands between the EA-1 device and the computer via the Telnet channel. This buffer file is a
useful way to check which commands are being used by the application, and as a way to provide examples when
writing custom software to talk to the device. It is also useful for debugging in case there are errors or problems with
the software - the buffer file can be sent to Ophir to investigate any problem that might occur.
Another buffer file produced by the application is “GLOBAL_LOG.log”, which may also be useful for debugging and
finding out what the application is doing. This file records general information about the latest instance of the
application, the UDP searches for Ophir devices, and which devices were opened and closed by the application.
In case there is a problem or a question about the PC application, copies of these buffer files should be sent to Ophir
to assist with debugging any problem that the customer may encounter.
