Freeing Up Logging Space

A log file can be deleted with the logdel command:

logdel <group_id> <lastdate (YYMMDD)>

Example:

/ > logdel L2 d070910

To erase all data in the log system, type LOGFS ERASE. This
command erases the whole Flash memory and resets the QML logger.
The command LOGFS ERASE is necessary to free space for new log
data.

Working with Data Log Files

The most convenient way to view the logged data is to use the AWS
Client software. To do this, you need to open the service connection,
download the files from the QML logger to your PC and convert them
to CSV (Comma Separated Value) format. After the conversion, you
can view the files directly in the AWS Client software or, for example,
in Microsoft Excel.

Before you start downloading files, you need to open a connection to the
QML logger by selecting the Connect option from the File menu or
clicking the Open connection button on the toolbar. For more
information on opening the connection, see section

memory.
