Extract Logs
As FutureWaves™ runs, the PPU creates log files with important information about how the
system has behaved over time. For the diagnostic purposes, the user may be asked at some point
in the future to extract these log files to a file to then send to other personnel. This can simply be
done through the Extract Logs feature on the References tab.
Clicking the ‘Extract Logs’ button will open up the frame displayed in Figure 36. The ‘File Path’
section prompts the user to enter a file path for the file to be created. Use the ‘…’ buttons to the
right to open a file chooser window. Please be sure to append “*.tar” to the end of the filename
that is chosen.
The ‘Select All’ option is selected by default. This tells the system to collect all the files on the
system. When this is selected, the ‘Start Date’ and ‘End Date’ options are disabled.
‘Extract’ will start the extraction process.
