Printing Log Disk Files

This chapter discusses the printing of log disk files. Instructions will indicate
how to save, locate, and name your log files.

An important feature of the EVENT, MIN/MAX or SNAPSHOT LOG
screens is the ability to store the contents of the logs into disk files. These
files can later be displayed on the computer screen or printed to a connected
dot–matrix printer using the standard DOS commands TYPE or PRINT,
respectively.

Saving the contents of the EVENT, MIN/MAX or SNAPSHOT LOG to a
disk file is performed by depressing the F7 function key (SAVE DISK) while
viewing any of the three screens.

Log files will be stored on the current directory from which the
Powermonitor Software was invoked and will be labelled in the following
way:

a. An EVENT LOG file will be labelled as EVNTxxxx.LOG, where

xxxx is the UNIT ID of the remote device currently being viewed.

b. A SNAPSHOT LOG file will be labelled as SNAPxxxx.LOG,

where xxxx is the UNIT ID of the remote device currently being
viewed.

c. A MIN/MAX log file is labelled as MNMXxxxx.LOG where xxxx

is the UNIT I.D. of the Powermonitor currently being used.
