Open

When you click , it opens the folder that saves log files. This folder's location is specified by Destination folder. The size and the number of log files are determined by Maximum log file size and Maximum log files, respectively. These settings can be found on the Settings page.

In the folder you'll see the following files and folders:

Standard

These are standard messages in .txt files. The figure below shows five standard files, because we limit the number of log files to five. The latest data is always saved in Standard.txt. Others are named by date and time.

Trace

These are trace messages in .csv files. They may be generated every cycle so the data is large. The data in the file is formatted for other applications to extract and analyze. The latest data is always saved in Trace.csv. Others are named by date and time. Interpolation and PID are trace data but saved in their own folders and files, because they have their own data format.

Interpolation

These are interpolation messages, which have 10 data formats in total. The data format varies according to the interpolation an axis uses. Interpolation3 means the axis uses the third format. The latest data is always saved in InterpolationN.csv (N is a number). Others are named by date and time.

PID

These are PID messages, which appear when you need to select velocity or torque control mode for an axis. The latest data is always saved in Pid.csv. Others are named by date and time.
