Log File The PFadvantage Cotton Yield Monitor requires a log file to store data on a
memory card. The log file will always have a ".PFL" extension and be named
with the date the file was created. Example: 98081502.PFL, second file
created on 08/15/98.
If you have multiple PFadvantage Cotton Yield Monitors, the monitors will
create the same log file name for each day’s harvest. Before downloading the
card information, create a separate file directory on your PC for each monitor
and download card data to these directories.
IMPORTANT: You must copy memory to every log file you create and
log to before you remove the card from your monitor. If you power the
monitor down before you remove the card, this will be done
automatically.
