4.7 Setting up the diagnostic log
The MK8000 will record all system activity in a log file, which you can access for
troubleshooting and debugging purposes. If you want to modify any of the default
settings for this log, you can do it now, or wait until you have an immediate need for it.
Setting the diagnostic log options
Item Choose…
1 Where the file will be located.
2 What the file will be called. Default name is MK8000.log.
3 How large the file can get before data is written over. Can range from 1-100 MB.
4 Which log column separator to use when exporting data.
5 The level of detail recorded (see table below for explanation of choices).
6 Whether the file will be backed up or not at each MK8000 start-up. If yes, the existing
log is backed up and a new empty log file is created at each start-up (in the same
folder).
7 If you choose yes, choose the maximum number of backup files to be kept. Value
can be 1-10. Note that the size parameter (see 3) applies to each individual file.
