SP5857-016: Make HDD LogFile
This SP creates a 32 MB file to store a log on the HDD. However, this is not a completely
empty file. The created file will hold the number "2225" as the SCS key number and other
non-volatile information.
Even if this SP is not executed, a file is created on the HDD when the first log is stored on
the HDD, but this operation takes time. This creates the possibility that the machine may be
switched off and on before the log can be created completely.
If you execute this SP to create the log file beforehand, this will greatly reduce the amount of
time required to acquire the log information and save onto the HDD. With the file already
created on the HDD for the log file, the data only needs to be recorded; a new log file does
not require creation.
To create a new log file, execute SP5857-011 to delete the debug log data from the HDD
and then execute this SP (SP5857-016).
SP5857-017: Make SD Log File
This SP creates a 4 MB file to store a log on an SD card. However, this is not a completely
empty file. The created file will hold the number "2225" as the SCS key number and other
non-volatile information.
Even if this SP is not executed, a file is created on the SD card when the first log is stored on
the SD card, but this operation takes time. This creates the possibility that the machine may
be switched off and on before the log can be created completely.
If you execute this SP to create the log file beforehand, this will greatly reduce the amount of
time required to acquire the log information and save onto the SD card. With the file already
created on the SD card for the log file, the data only needs to be recorded; a new log file
does not require creation.
To create a new log file, execute SP5857-012 to delete the debug log data from the SD card
and then execute this SP (SP5857-017)
