20-10 Data card Options XL™ Series
.LOG Files
When the XL detects major changes in operation it will log that change in a file with an
extension of .LOG. The events that may be logged can be user changes such as the user turning
on or off the scanning option. Other events may be detected without user actions such as a low
battery detection or a system reset. This log file is useful to see what has been happening with
the unit.
NOTE: The XL™ does not support subdirectories and other operations available on a PC. It is
strongly recommended that data cards used in a PC not be set up with subdirectories or have
individual files erased or deleted as some PC systems may try to create a recycle folder which
would be considered a subdirectory. It is also best to format the cards on the XL™ and not on a
PC as a PC may do so using different block and cluster sizes than what is optimal for the XL™.
Using the option to erase all the data on the data card or internal memory actually reformats the
selected memory as it erases it.
