Data Logger

6.10.1 General
The subnetwork traffic can be logged into a buffer. This may provide valuable information when
debugging the lowest levels of the subnetwork communication.
The logger is built into the gateway and is separate from Anybus Configuration Manager. This
means that logging can be performed even if the gateway is disconnected from the computer.
The log buffer will hold 512 bytes of data in each direction by default. The size of the log buffer
can be changed from the Options dialog. See also
The Data Logger is not available until a communication port has been selected.
6.10.2 Operation
Select Start logging from the Tools menu, then choose the operation mode:
• Log until full
Data will only be logged until the log buffer is full.
• Log continuously
Data will be logged continuously until you select Stop Logging. The log buffer will contain
the most recent data.
In both operation modes, selecting Stop Logging will stop the logging and open the log window.
