Finding a log
PLEASE NOTE
If possible, do not rename the directories, otherwise logs will be stored in both the
renamed directory as well as the new device directory generated automatically by the
steam sterilizer.
Storage location for logs
When transferring the logs to a CF card, they will be stored in a separate folder in the main directory. Di-
rect transfer of the logs to a computer via the network and using the MELAG FTP server allows you to
work directly in the FTP server to determine directly where on your computer the device directory with log
files is to be saved. With output via TCP and e.g. MELAtrace, you can work directly in the program to de-
termine the folder in which they are to be saved.
Log directory
A folder is created on all memory media (CF card or computer) after log output containing the encoded se-
rial number of the steam sterilizer concerned. The folder name consists of five characters identical with the
first five characters of every log, e.g. E00T7 This folder contains sub-folders with the month of log gener-
ation e.g. 01_2016 for January 2016. This contains all logs generated by the steam sterilizer this month.
The device directory is entered in the main directory on the CF card.
The steam sterilizer checks the memory medium after every type of log output (immediate output after a
completed cycle or the transfer of multiple logs simultaneously). Should a directory not exist, it automatical-
ly creates a directory for the device and the month. If the logs are subject to multiple outputting on the
identical memory medium, the device directory will create a "Duplicate" directory.
Further information pertaining to the meaning of the file endings on the logs is available in section
