You can either:
1) analyse some data you have collected online (see above) or
2) open an existing log file (collected using the Analysis Tool, Dumptrux or a terminal program) or
3) open a file of analysed data previously made by this program.
If you want to analyse your online data, use Online | Analyse Data.
If you want to analyse a saved file, use File | Open log file.
The analyser will read each log command and gather its data, then prepare the data for the reports.
This process can take time on large logs. If it takes forever, you can cancel it by clicking the menu
option Click here to stop. The reports will only contain information from the data analysed so far.
Sometimes the Analysis Tool will be unable to open the log. If it fails, it will give the message shown
above. Some logs are corrupted due to communications noise, and sometimes the I/O modules will not
store their logs properly (the logging process is not the highest priority task and it can be interrupted).
In some cases, the system may contain modules which reply with message formats that have not been
tested (or accounted for) with the Analysis Tool, causing the code to abort. There is little that can be
done to cope with corrupted logs, but it may be possible to account for an unknown reply format.
Please send the log to ICS Triplex as instructed.
