Machine Logs
The “Log Viewer” screen
(see Figure 87) is located under the System drop-
down menu. The “Log Viewer”
screen allows viewing of the various log files related to machine operation.
The “Search” text entry field can be
used to search t
he list of “Log Files” by name.
An entire log file can be viewed, or only a portion of the log can
be loaded. To load an entire log file, select the desired log file from the list of files, leave the “Begin” and “End”
entry fields blank, and press “Get Log”. To get a portion of a log file, enter the numerical character index at
which to begin viewing the file into the “Begin” entry field and the index of the end character into the “End” field.
For example, entering a beginning of “500” and an ending of “750” will display characters 501 to 750 from the
log file (character indexes 500 to 749).

The “Directory” dropdown selects which directory log files are retrieved from. The “Logs” directory contains the
standard press and
machine log files. The “MachineData” directory contains the calibration log files. Press the
“Export Selected Log” button to save the selected log file to an external storage device. Press the “Export All
Logs In Directory” button to save all the log files
in the selected directory to an external storage device. An
expanded version of the sequence logs can be created and exported using the "Export Expanded Logs By
Sequence" and "Export All Expanded Sequence Logs" buttons. The expanded sequence log has the press log
data from all corresponding connector presses in the sequence appended to the end of the sequence log.
Expanded logs for all available sequence logs can be exported using the "Export All Expanded Sequence
Logs" button. To export expanded logs for only one particular sequence, press the "Export Expanded Logs By
Sequence" button and enter the sequence name in the text entry box that is displayed.
The error log is automatically appended with every error message that is displayed during any machine
function. This includes time and date stamp, and description. By reviewing the logs, machine operation can be
evaluated on a detailed level.
