5 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does the log name mean?
Complete encoding of both the serial number and the total batch number is performed in the 8 digit log name. Manually
re-named files are always easy to identify but not to be recommended. A log name is never assigned twice. The log
name achieves good log sortability.
Knowledge of the encoding within the name of the log file is not necessary, as a double-click on the file reveals the
content and thus serial number and total batch number immediately. This requires assignment of a log file to a text
editor.

Date and time of the log files
The date and time of the log files in Windows explorer are identical with the time of the program start, provided of course
that the files were saved on the corresponding medium via immediate output. The information is lost upon subsequent
collected issue on a medium or e-mail dispatch.
How to format a CF card on the computer correctly?
The CF card should only be formatted on the device. In exceptional circumstances, this can be performed on the
computer. The CF card used may have a max. memory space of 4GB and must be formatted with the file system FAT16
or FAT32. CF cards from which a software update is to be performed may only be formatted in a FAT16 file system.
The device can only file or read data on CF cards formatted in this way. CF cards supplied by MELAG fulfil these
requirements and have already been formatted.
