5.11.5 DEBUG LOG CODES
SP5857-015 Copy SD Card-to-SD Card: Any Desired Key
This SP copies the log on an SD card (the file that contains the information written directly from
shared memory) to a log specified by key number. The copy operation is executed in the log
directory of the SD card inserted in the same slot. (This function does not copy from one slot to
another.) Each SD card can hold up to 4 MB of file data. Unique file names are created for the
data during the copy operation to prevent overwriting files of the same name. This means that log
data from more than one machine can be copied onto the same SD card. This command does not
execute if there is no log on the HDD for the name of the specified key.
SP5857-016 Create a File on HDD to Store a Log
This SP creates a 32 MB file to store a log on the HDD. However, this is not a completely empty
file. The created file will hold the number "2225" as the SCS key number and other non-volatile
information. Even if this SP is not executed, a file is created on the HDD when the first log is
stored on the HDD (it takes some time to complete this operation). This creates the possibility that
the machine may be switched off and on before the log can be created completely. If you execute
this SP to create the log file beforehand, this will greatly reduce the amount of time required to
acquire the log information and save onto the HDD. With the file already created on the HDD for
the log file, the data only needs to be recorded. A new log file does not need to be created. To
create a new log file, do SP5857-011 to delete the debug log data from the HDD. Then do
SP5857-016.
SP5857-017 Create a File on SD Card to Store a Log
This SP creates a 4 MB file to store a log on an SD card. However, this is not a completely empty
file. The created file will hold the number "2225" as the SCS key number and other non-volatile
information. Even if this SP is not executed, a file is created on the SD card when the first log is
stored on the SD card (it takes some time to complete this operation). This creates the possibility
that the machine may be switched off and on before the log can be created completely. If you
execute this SP to create the log file beforehand, this will greatly reduce the amount of time
required to acquire the log information and save onto the SD card. With the file already created on
the SD card for the log file, the data only needs to be recorded; a new log file does not require
creation. To create a new log file, do SP5857-012 to delete the debug log data from the SD card.
Then do SP5857-017.
