Logging to Internal Memory

When the file media is set to internal memory (FILEMEDIACONFIG INTERNAL_FLASH), logs sent to the FILE port are saved on internal memory. This option is available only on the PwrPak7 and CPT7.

For information about logging to internal memory using the PwrPak7 Log button, see Logging Using the Log Button.

Before powering off the PwrPak7 or using the RESET command, use the FILECONFIG CLOSE command, or press the Log button, to close the log file.

Before powering off the CPT7 or using the RESET command, use the FILECONFIG CLOSE command to close the log file.

NovAtel Application Suite or Manage Web are the recommended methods for configuring logging to internal memory. Refer to the NovAtel UI Tools Documentation Portal (docs.novatel.com/Tools) for information about configuring logging using the NovAtel Application Suite or Manage Web.

PwrPak7M variants and Legacy CPT7 receivers (PN 80023560) do not support logging to internal memory.

Logging to Internal Memory using the Command Line

To log to internal memory:

  1. Set the file media to internal memory (this is the default).

    FILEMEDIACONFIG INTERNAL_FLASH

  2. Open a log file on internal memory.

    FILECONFIG OPEN

    The LOG LED begins to blink to show that a log file is open on internal memory.

  3. Use the LOG command to start collecting logs to the file on internal memory. The logs must use the FILE port. For example:

    LOG FILE VERSIONA

    LOG FILE BESTPOSA ONTIME 1

    Enter a LOG command for each log you want to collect.

  4. Wait until the desired data has been collected.

  5. Enter the following command to stop data collection and close the log file.

    FILECONFIG CLOSE

    The LOG LED changes to a solid color to indicate that the PwrPak7 or CPT7 is no longer logging to internal memory.
