The Application Log
AnxDcsLog logs information and error messages to the file AxDcsLog.txt in the same
directory as AnxDcsLog.exe
Each time the service starts, it deletes any previous version of the application log file.
You can use the DeviceName to identify the AN-X associated with a message.

Using AN-X-DCSLOG with InSQL
Creating the Tag Database
Before InSQL can read the data logged by AnxDcsLog.exe, the corresponding tags must
exist in its tag database.
The easiest way to create the tags is to create a word and boolean tag in InSQL, export
those tags to a CSV file, edit the CSV file to create additional tags, then import the
modified file into InSQL.
