If you want to collect the logs with the current message settings, click Start to start collecting logs.

Optional Settings
The Optional Settings window has two tabs: File Setting and Message Settings.
File Settings
The File Settings configure how the receiver handles the files in which the logs are stored.
Full Disk Action
The Full Disk Action options determine how the receiver acts when the file storage device is full.
-
STOP
The receiver stops logging when the file storage device has 1 MB of free space or less.
When logging to the computer running Manage Web (local computer), logging stops when the disk space is less than 10 MB. -
OVERWRITE
The receiver deletes the oldest log file when the file storage device has 10 MB of free space or less.
When logging to the local computer, the oldest log file is deleted when there is 10 MB of disk space or less.
To be deleted, the log file must have the default naming scheme, exist in the current logging folder and be created by this receiver.
File Rotation
The File Rotation options determine when the receiver closes the current log file and starts storing logs in a new file. There is no data loss when the receiver changes log files and individual logs within the file are not spread between log files.
When logging to the local computer, Manage Web closes the log file.
To enable File Rotation, click one of the numbered buttons to select the number of hours that a log file is kept open.
To disable File Rotation, click None.
Message Settings
The Message Settings tab lists the logs being saved to the file storage device.
To change the logging settings for a log, use the drop menus and text box beside the log.
Format
Click ASCII, Binary or Abbr ASCII to select the format in which this log is generated.
Trigger
The trigger determines when the log is generated.
-
ONTIME
Outputs the log at a regular interval. The number of seconds between log generation is set in the Period option.
-
ONCHANGED
Outputs the current message and then continues to output when the message is changed.
-
ONCE
Outputs the current message. If no message is currently present, the next message is output when available.
-
ONNEW
Does not output the current message, but outputs when the message is updated (not necessarily changed).
-
ONALL
Outputs the current message and then continues to output when the message is updated (not necessarily changed).
The ONALL trigger is available on firmware versions 7.09.01 and higher.
The triggers available depend on the log type.
