Lake Controller Operation Manual Rev 1.5.9

Lake-enabled Amplier Reference

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 les into Microsoft Excel, right click on

the le 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

le import.

20.14.1 Statistical log les

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.
