Log downloader If your laser requires support from NKT Photonics, our support engineers may
request that you send the log files collected by the laser. You can use the log
downloader tool to save the laser log files to your CONTROL PC.
NKTP CONTROL automatically downloads log files from the modules of any
connected devices. The log files are stored in a local database on the CONTROL
PC. However, certain NKTP modules, including the SuperK COMPACT main
board do not support automatic download of log files. For these modules. you
can use the Log Downloader tool to put the device into dedicated log download
mode by enabling a collect log function.
Note: When the collect log function is enabled, it will temporarily disable automat-
ic log collection from all other devices. The CONTROL interface will turn grey
(gray), and communication with the laser and log collection with all other modules
will be disabled
To download log files use the Log Downloader as described in Procedure 6.

PC. The percentage indicator
shows the amount of log data
collected for each module.
Logs are collected from each
module. The total collected
