command to close the log file.
NovAtel Application Suite or Setup & Monitor Web are the recommended methods for configuring
logging to internal memory. Refer to the
NovAtel UI Tools Documentation Portal
) for information about configuring logging using the NovAtel Application
Suite or Setup & Monitor Web.
Logging to Internal Memory using the Command Line
To log to internal memory:
1. Set the file media to internal memory (this is the default).
FILEMEDIACONFIG INTERNAL_FLASH
2. Open a log file on internal memory.
FILECONFIG OPEN
The
LOG
LED begins to blink to show that a log file is open on internal memory.
3. Use the LOG command to start collecting logs to the file on internal memory. The logs must use the
FILE port. For example:
LOG FILE VERSIONA
LOG FILE BESTPOSA ONTIME 1
Enter a LOG command for each log you want to collect.
4. Wait until the desired data has been collected.
5. Enter the following command to stop data collection and close the log file.
FILECONFIG CLOSE
The
LOG
LED changes to a solid color to indicate that the CPT7 is no longer logging to internal memory.
3.11.4 Access CPT7 Internal Memory with a Computer
The CPT7 has 16 GB of internal Flash memory. This memory is formatted as FAT32 with a cluster size of 16
kB.
To allow a computer to access the internal memory, connect the computer to the USB port on the CPT7 and
issue a FILEMEDIACONFIG DEFAULT_NO_STORAGE command. This command stops logging to internal
memory and transfers control of the memory to the computer.
To return control of the internal memory back to the CPT7, issue a FILEMEDIACONFIG INTERNAL_FLASH
command. The CPT7 then checks the file system on the internal memory for errors. If any errors are found, the
CPT7 attempts to correct them. This may result in files being placed in the
Lost and Found
folder in the root of
the internal memory.
To reduce the likelihood of internal memory corruption or data loss, the following is recommended:
1. Always use the
Eject
option on your computer before issuing the FILEMEDIACONFIG INTERNAL_
FLASH command on the CPT7.
2. Before powering off the CPT7, use the FILECONFIG CLOSE command to ensure there is no activity on
the internal memory when the power is lost.
