An example of an Statistical log entry is the following:
“00,2,05,01,04,10:03:09,08-23”
As you can see, all the fields are comma separated. Each line has double quotes
as the first and last character. The example has the following format:
00 is the Group number of the MCN module
2 is the Module number of the MCN module
05 is the receiver number
01 is the old state of the receiver (Vote)
04 is the new state of the receiver (Receive)
10:03:09 is the time of the state change
08-23 is the day-month of the state change
The 2 digit numbers for the old and new states correspond with the state numbers
defined by the text definition line of the status text category assigned to the
module. For system errors, the new state number may be F1 hex through F9 hex.
Section 7.6.3 shows the MCN system messages that can occur, along with the
error code number that will be contained in the MCNSTAT.LOG file. The old
state number will always be F2 hex, indicating that the new state number is a
system error code.
Statistical log entries are stored on disk in a file named MCNSTAT.LOG.
The file size (in MB) for logging errors is set by the Command Line Option
switch ‘/Sn where n = 1 to 100. The default file size is 1 MB if no option is given
See Section 7.8.1 for more details on the Command Line Options Statistical log
entries are stored as ASCII text consisting of 30 bytes per log. A Statistical log
file size selection of 1 MB (default) holds about 34,000 entries.
“Open and Close” markers are written to the MCNSTAT.LOG file depending on
the state of the Statistical Log file.
The Open marker consisting of the following:
“X1
, Screen File name , Time, Date”
The Close marker consisting of the following:
“X9
, Screen File name , Time, Date”
These markers are used to separate the log data for different Screen file’s
Statistical log data. If different Screens are loaded while the program is running,
each Screen’s Statistical log data will be marked by the X1 (Open) and X9 (Close)
stamps so that the data can be grouped according to each Screen loaded.
