Lake Controller Operation Manual Rev 1.5.8

Lake-enabled Ampliﬁer Reference

When the amplier enters standby mode, it remembers that the expected power state is ON and thereby

after a power cycle the frame will turn on again.

There is no Auto Power On feature, so the device

will need to be turned on manually as required.

20.14 Log Files

For every Lake Controller session, two sets of log les are created. These XML les can be viewed as text

or imported into Microsoft Excel. The les are located in the installation folder /logs, also available via a

Windows Start menu shortcut.

To import log ﬁles into Microsoft Excel, right click

on the ﬁle and choose OPEN WITH->EXCEL. For

Excel 2003 and later, select OPEN AS AN XML

LIST.

Earlier versions of Excel (pre-2003) do not provide

full XML support and should not be used for log

ﬁle import.

20.14.1 Statistical log ﬁles

Assuming at least one Lake-enable amplier is present in the current system conguration, the

Lake Controller software will continuously log statistical information to a le. The logged data includes

amplier operation statistics in addition to faults and warnings.

20.14.2 Event Log

When a session is ended the EVENT LOG currently viewable in the EVENT LOG tab is written to a le.
