Get Event Logs
Get Event Logs copies the Windows log files from the Adept SmartVision EX to your local PC.
• You select the directory into which a copy of the log files will be placed.
• You can then use the Windows event viewer to view the log files, or you can send them to
someone else for troubleshooting.
Hard Drive Utilities
The internal hard drive is partitioned into C: and D: drives. The C: drive, which contains the
®

XP Embedded operating system and Adept ACE software, is protected by default with
a file-based write filter.
locked.
CAUTION:
two paragraphs.
When the file-based write filter is active, changes made to the C: partition are actually written to
RAM, as part of the mechanism of the file-based write filter. During your session, these changes
will appear to have been made on C:, but will not, in fact, be saved to the hard drive. Any such
changes will be lost the next time the Adept SmartVision EX is power-cycled.
Because of this, user files and programs should be put on the D: partition. Because the write filter
only applies to the C: partition, this also allows you to write to the files without disabling the write
filter, and any such changes will be saved to the hard drive.
Write Filter
If you ever need to upgrade the Adept ACE software, you will first need to unlock the write filter,
and reboot the Adept SmartVision EX unit. The unit will then boot with the C: drive write filter
unlocked.
NOTE: Event logs are written to the D: drive, so the write filter does not affect
them.
Once the Adept ACE software is upgraded, you should reset the write filter to Locked, and reboot
the Adept SmartVision EX unit, so the Adept ACE software is protected.
Write Filter Lock
Write Filter Lock sets the write filter to Locked for the selected Adept SmartVision EX unit.
Locked is the default condition, so the C: drive is normally protected.
• Attempting to upgrade (Install) Adept ACE when the write filter is locked will result in an
error message.
• A change in the write filter setting will not be applied until the Adept SmartVision EX unit
is rebooted.
Write Filter Unlock
Write Filter Unlock sets the write filter to Unlocked for the selected Adept SmartVision EX unit.
A change in this setting will not be applied until the Adept SmartVision EX unit is rebooted.
