LOG FILES
Log Files are a diagnostic tool for monitoring the system as it goes through
its various routines. The Log Files are created in the Log Files directory folder
which is located in the root directory. If there is not a Log Files directory folder,
the Nomad SD2 will create one at initialization. The memory card must not be
write-protected for Log Files to be created and stored. If it is write-protected the
Nomad SD2 will ignore the card. The latest log File is the one with the highest
incremental number in the file name. To read a log file, simply open it using Word
Pad or any other Text Editor. The Controller creates a new Log File upon every
initialization and every time it locks on satellite.
ERROR MESSAGES
The Nomad SD2 has internal diagnostic capabilities that will indicate when
a Critical Error has been detected. If a critical error occurs, the STOW and FIND
LED’s will blink simultaneously with one second intervals. The number of
repetitions will indicate the specific number code of the error. After a two (2)
second pause the Nomad SD2 will blink out the error number again. The system
can not function after experiencing a critical error. The unit will have to be shut
OFF and restarted (see Test Dish.) The Nomad SD2 will also record a text message
indicating the error into the Log File provided an SD card was inserted at the time
of the error. If the card was not inserted at the time of the error simply turn OFF
the power and insert the SD card and turn ON the power to the Nomad SD2 and
press FIND. The system will produce a log file onto the SD card. This captured
information can be sent to the MotoSAT Technical Support Department to be
analyzed.
The following page has a list of each error, its number code, and whether or
not it is a critical error.
