APPENDIX C: RECEIVED DATA LOGGING
For “Save on EOM” to work properly, the Data Logging directory, “..\dalog\” must exist, else a
warning message will be displayed if it is missing and “Save on EOM” is checked when a message
is received and no log will be created.
The file naming convention for data log files is “MMDDYYYY.da”, for example:
06082012.da
When "Save on EOM" is checked, all messages that come in with a legitimate EOM at the end
will be saved to the current log file.
A log file is created or if existing for the current date opened when the program has received a
message and the file is closed immediately after the data is saved.
The same log file will be used until the program allowed to run beyond the Zulu date, then a
new log file is will be created at the next message received when logging is enable.
Each time the log file is opened during its life, the following statement is written to it:
FILE OPENED xxx-xx-xxxx xx:xx Greenwich Mean Time
For example, today’s files first entry is:
FILE OPENED Jun-08-2012 02:12 Greenwich Mean Time
