LOG Files
Log files are comma delimited text files that are generated by the ARU. Data
collected in LOG files is determined by the DEF files as explained above. LOG
files can be viewed in any text editor like Notepad. These files are designed to be
easily imported into most database or spread sheet applications to generate
reports.

Archiving a log file
Periodically you will want to archive or delete a log file. This can be accomplished
efficiently by opening Windows Explorer and renaming or relocating the current
file. We recommend you select a relevant name, like March2001_June2001.log.

ARU file size
When PlotWorks is first installed, a dialog box appears prompting the installer to
select a maximum size for the ARU logs. The default maximum file size is 10MB.
Every time a job is processed, entries are appended to the ARU log until the
maximum allotted size is reached. If the maximum file size is exceeded you are
warned. At that point we recommend you archive the old ARU log and start a new
log. Once PlotWorks is installed the ARU maximum size value can only be
changed in the registry.
