Installation Manual

Initial log file creation
As part of the commissioning process, it is accepted best practice to initiate and store a log
file of the Radascan system operation. The completed log file should then be archived and a
copy also sent to Guidance Navigation Limited as a base reference for the system.
Normally, the Radascan system creates automatic log files whenever it is navigating. For
commissioning and diagnostic purposes, it is possible to force the system to create a log file
while it is in standby mode. To provide real data, the system must be able to see one or
more reflective targets.
To create and send a log file
1 Enter Service Access mode using either an engineer’s USB key or a temporary service
access code.
2 On the Radascan Console keyboard, press Alt + L. Allow the system to run for at least ten
minutes with one or more reflective targets in view.
3 After a suitable period, press Alt + L to stop the log file session.
4 Use the 'Start' button and ‘My Computer’ to access the Local Disk (C:) folders and filing
system. Locate the ‘Program Files\Radascan User Console folder.
5 Within the folder, locate the log file whose filename matches the date and time of your
session. The name of the folder will include the start and finish dates and times, for
example:
05d09m2005y 20h33m03s to 05d09m2005y 20h43m38s
6 This folder and its contents should be archived and also transmitted via email to
[e-mail] or posted on diskette back to Guidance Navigation Ltd.
Note: To compress the whole folder prior to transmission by email, you can make use of
the folder compression utility with a right mouse click and by choosing ‘Send to
compressed folder’. Such compressed folders can be also be decompressed with
standard tools such as WinZip.
