message_log

The

message_log table stores a record that includes a text message as well as

several variables that describe the state of the system when the record is

written. It notifies the user of a significant event, such as a change to a

configuration variable or events related to a zero/span sequence.

Public variable

latest_note shows the latest message written to the

message_log table. After one minute the text in latest_note is marked as old,

but is still displayed.

Some of the messages relate to the system configuration variables. The first

message, written when the program starts up, will be either:

Using configuration variables from sys_conf_var.dat

or:

Using default configuration variables

This is normally followed by:

System configuration saved

This message is also written any time the configuration is saved: once per day

at 15 minutes past midnight and any time a configuration variable is changed.

Most of the messages are related to the Zero/Span sequence. When the

sequence starts and stops normally, the following messages are displayed.

Zero/Span sequence started

Zero/Span sequence completed
