Generating an event log (Windows)

L&TT can generate a detailed event log that captures all L&TT diagnostic interaction, all SCSI
commands sent and received by the program, and any software interactions or issues. The
information it contains is intended for use by L&TT programmers as a tool for debugging software
issues within the program itself.

To generate an event log (Windows):

1.

Run L&TT and select Options > Preferences.

2.

Check the Add I/O history to event log option and click OK.

3.

Exit and restart L&TT.

4.

Replicate the problem encountered.

5.

Navigate to the logs directory in the L&TT installation directory. Locate the Eventlog.ltt
file.

6.

Attach the Eventlog.ltt file to an e-mail and send it to the L&TT team for diagnosis.

7.

Return to L&TT and select Options > Preferences.

8.

Uncheck the Add I/O history to event log option and click OK.

CAUTION:

This option should not be left enabled because it can potentially use hundreds

of megabytes of disk space.

NOTE:

In the log directory you may also see other event log entries such as

EventLog_backup1.ltt

, EventLog_backup2.ltt, EventLog_backup3.ltt, and so on.

The versions of the event log are numbered in historical order.

Because the event log stores a SCSI trace of the interaction between the product and the L&TT
software, it can be used as a simple SCSI analyzer. To do this, select the Add I/O history
