Log files

Questions may arise after a logger has been setup and deployed as to the exact
setup values. To assist users in being able to review the exact setup of any
logger, a system of log files has been provided with the RBR Windows Software.
For each completed setup, the major parameters of the setup of each logger are
written to two log files, including the estimates of memory and battery usage.
One file is named for the logger using the logger serial number (i.e.
"010083.log"), the second is named for the date captured from the PC host (i.e.
"20050427.log" – 2005/Apr/27). The first of these files chronicles the history of
the logger and the second is a record of daily activities. The second file is useful
for reviewing a batch of loggers that have all been setup on the same day. All
the log files are to be found in the sub-directory "..\RBR\log".
When data is retrieved from a logger, the information concerning the download is
stored in the daily file and the specific logger file.
Log files are never overwritten by the RBR Windows Software. If the user
wishes to delete them, they must be deleted by the user employing normal
Windows techniques. Such files will exist on all PC systems employed by the
user and hence a complete record of what has happened to one particular logger
may be spread over many PCs.
