Grass Valley PDR v.2.1 - Manual (Page 132)

Chapter 5 Using Profile Utilities
116 Profile Family
NOTE: Because it is a binary file, you cannot view scsi.log with
WinTail. See “The Detail Log” on page 113 for instructions on
how to view scsi.log.
Three sets of logs are now maintained:
1. The PDR Access Control service records messages from the real-time
processor into profile.log. As installed, the WinTail application reads this log
file by default.
2. VdrPanel logs all RS-422 protocol messages for supported third-party
protocols. Logging occurs to files VdrPanel[ABCD].000 and
VdrPanel[ABCD].001 in the directory where VdrPanel is run. Logging has
a timing resolution of 10 msec. Use a dedicated RS-422 logger for better
resolution and accuracy.
Logging for each panel may be turned off by setting the value MsgLogger to 0
in these registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
/SYSTEM
/CurrentControlSet
/Services
/VtrService
/Chan[ABCD]
NOTE: Logger does not log duplicate replies for BVW, BVW [insert
edit] and Odetics for 61.0c CurrentTimeSense for Timer1, LTC, and
VITC, and 61.0c StatusSense, nor for Louth for 30.05
PortStatusRequest and 30.10 SystemStatusRequest
3. VdrPort logs are maintained recording all messages passed between
Windows NT and the real time processor. The following information is
logged:
- Direction:
> indicates NT-to-video-processor
< indicates video-processor-to-NT
- VDR port number (0–3)
- Tick count (msec since Windows NT booted)
- Message
