The LOG SELECT command provides a means for the Host to manage statistical information maintained by the 
device about its own hardware or the installed media. This description should be read in conjunction with the 
description of the LOG SENSE command which follows it, to provide the reader with information about log page 
format, parameters and supported pages.   
PCR: A Parameter Code Reset bit of one and a Parameter List Length of ZERO will cause ALL log pages which can 
be cleared, to be cleared. If this field is set and the Parameter List Length field is non-ZERO then the command will 
be terminated with a CHECK CONDITION status with the sense key set to ILLEGAL REQUEST, and an additional 
sense code of INVALID FIELD IN CDB. 
SP: The device does not have non-volatile RAM into which it may save parameters. Therefore, the Save Page bit is 
not supported by this device  and shall always be set to ZERO. If the SP bit is set, the command will be terminated 
with CHECK CONDITION status with the sense key set to ILLEGAL REQUEST, and an additional sense code of 
INVALID FIELD IN CDB. 
PC: The Page Control field defines the type of parameter values to be selected:

Description 
00b 
01b 
10b 
11b 
 Current Threshold Values 
 Current Cumulative Values 
 Default Threshold Values 
 Default Cumulative Values 
If this field is set to 00b, 10b or 11b and the Parameter List Length field is non-0 then the command will be terminated 
with a CHECK CONDITION status with the sense key set to ILLEGAL REQUEST, and an additional sense code of 
INVALID FIELD IN CDB. This is because no modification of these log pages is permitted. For a description of 
command behavior if this field is set to 01b then see the description of the Parameter List Length field below.   
If this field is set to 10b and the Parameter List length field is 0 then all Current Threshold Values will be reset to the 
Default Threshold Values. This is equivalent to no change as Threshold Values cannot be modified.   
If this field is set to 11b and the Parameter List Length field is 0 then all Current Cumulative Values will be reset to the 
Default Cumulative Values. This is equivalent to all log pages which can be cleared.   
Parameter List Length: This field specifies the length in bytes of the LOG SELECT parameter list that shall be 
transferred from the initiator to the target during the DATA OUT phase. A parameter list length of ZERO indicates 
that no data shall be transferred. This condition shall not be considered as an error (see description of Parameter 
Code Reset and Page Control fields above). If this field is non-0 the Page Control field must be 01b.
