ORYX SYSTEM & LOG FILES

System settings, configuration and log files are stored under the Root directory and
also  under  the  DTS  System  Files  and  Log  directories  for  each  respective  Oryx.
Most  of  these  files  are  critical  to  the  correct  operation  of  the  ODC  software  and
should  not  be  moved,  renamed  or  deleted.  The  “Main  Log.txt”  file  (under  ‘ROOT’)
logs  all  errors and significant events  reported  by  the  Base Unit.  The  “Oryx  system
log.txt” is the log file received from the Oryx and tracks errors and significant events
on  the  Oryx  device  itself.  Both  of  these  files  are  useful  in  diagnosing  faults  and
should be sent to Sensornet if a fault needs to be reported
