8.2.3 Message tab
The software automatically saves files that have information about sensor use, data
collection, and software operation over time. This information helps the user and
Customer Support find problems and troubleshoot.
When the "Display Dialog for Error Level Messages" box has a check in it, the software
saves one of five levels of error messages.
• INFO —The default level. All high-level operations are saved.
• ERROR —Minimum level. Only errors that need to be examined by the user or
Customer Support are saved.
• WARN —Low level. The files that are saved do not have enough information for the
user to make an analysis of how the sensor is used and set up.
• DEBUG —High level. Used to troubleshoot. DEBUG and TRACE files are very large.
• TRACE —The highest level. Used only to troubleshoot.
"Daily Files"—all messages from a single day are saved in one file.
"Rolling Files"—all messages are saved in one file until it is the maximum size specified
by the user. The messages are then saved to a new file. The user specifies the number of
files to keep. The oldest files are erased first.
"Save Lost Bytes"—if this box has a check in it, the software saves all of the unexpected
output from the sensor to a file.
"File Location"—the operating system of the PC determines where these files are saved.
