Logging to USB Flash Drive Via USB Host Cable
The [LOGFILE] command used in this
procedure does not work with USB flash
drives that have a write-protected primary
partition. The partition will not mount properly.
The most common examples of this are drives
with U3 software installed. In order to log
using these drives, this partition must be
removed. Reformatting the drive is not
sufficient. According to the U3 web site:
“Most U3 smart drives come with an uninstall
utility that converts the U3 smart drive into a
regular USB flash drive. This utility can be
accessed from the U3 Launchpad. Open the
U3 Launchpad and click on Settings, then
select U3 Launchpad Settings and click on
the Uninstall tab. Some devices have a link to
the Uninstall utility under Help and Support.”

The [LOGFILE] command requires that at
least 10% of the drive is free before it begins
logging. It will also automatically stop logging
when free space drops below 1 MByte.

To view the directory structure and logged
files, the USB drive must be dismounted and
moved to a PC.
To connect as Host directly to a USB flash drive,
requires:
