Using Profile Utilities

This chapter shows you how to read Profile logs with WinTail, monitor an
RS-422 port with ProLink, access a Profile system from a remote PC with
PortServer, and how to manually stop and start the PDR Access Control service.

Viewing Profile Logs

You can view Profile system logs with the graphical log viewer WinTail. This
log viewer allows you to see the end of a log file. To view any of the Profile
system log files:

1. Double-click on the Profile Log shortcut icon on the Windows NT desktop

or choose

Start | PDR Applications | Profile Log

. By default, the WinTail

application views profile.log. WinTail automatically checks log files for
updates every two seconds.
