MCDI Logger tool Logger is a legacy software tool made circa 2004 to log raw output of receiver. It is available for D4 but
not supported.
Logged data may be read by word processors and Excel for reporting or /and analysis.
REQUIREMENTS
Works on Windows XP, Vista or 7. Contact MCDI
to receive package installation.
Port:
Choose and connect to the port your receiver
device is attached to.
Interval:
Set interval at which a new log file will be
created. Possible choices are “Hourly”, “Daily”,
“Weekly” and “Monthly”. Consequently, each log
file will contain signals came within an hour, a
day, a week, or a month, respectively.
Day of month, day of week, hour, minute:
Set the exact time when a new log will be
created. The choices available depend on the interval chosen above. For example, if “Hourly” interval is selected,
and the minute is set to “10”, then a new log will be created at 13:10, 14:10, 15:10, 16:10 etc.
NOTE: Every time you change the interval type or its settings, you should reconnect in order for the changes to
be applied.
Log-Directory:
Select the location of the logged signals. The organization of this directory is as follows:
(log-dir) \ (com-port and device name) e.g. MyLogs\COM3__Exprecium\
Each log file is named as follows:
Year-Month-Day__Hour-Min.log e.g. 2004-06-12__13-00.log
Thus, it shows the date and time it was created.
NOTE: Every time the logger starts, it attempts to open the previous log, based on the interval settings. For
example, if it was 14:25 currently, the interval was set to “Hourly”, and the Minute was set to “00”, the logger will
try to open the log created at 14:00. If, indeed, this file exists, the logger will use it to log incoming signals until
15:00, as usual. If, on the other hand, the file does not exist, the logger will create a new log labeled with the
current time of 14:25 and use it to log incoming signals until 15:00.
Auto-Ack

Acknowledge
Acknowledge the reception of the incoming signal.
