About the MPT Specimen Log
Performing Common Tasks 58
Archived log files are named specimen000.log, specimen001.log,
specimen002.log, and so forth, up to specimen500.log.
Note The maximum number of log files that can be saved for a particular test
is 500.
Once you reach 500 log files, additional log files overwrite the oldest log files in
order (typically archiving restarts at specimen 000.log).
When a log file is saved (either manually or automatically), a log entry is made
noting the archival. This entry includes a time/date stamp and information about
where the file was saved. This entry becomes the first entry in the current log.
The MPT software can unexpectedly quit if you run out of disk space when
saving log files.
Quitting while a test is in progress can result in a loss of data.
If you think your test may generate an excessive number of MPT Specimen Log
entries, you should filter the messages written to the MPT Specimen Log with the
MPT Options Editor.
If the MPT application shuts down as a result of log files exhausting disk space,
you must remove some of the MPT Specimen Log files from your disk before
you restart the system software.
