EVI Products - PC-LOG

PC-LOG

PC-LOG is an EVI product which replaces serial terminals and/or logging devices with an intelligent micro-computer interface. Data normally lost on conventional terminals is now captured and recorded to disk or WORM-based log files. The voluminous amounts of paper generated by hardcopy logging devices is eliminated. PC-LOG allows rapid location of important messages by providing review and search capabilities. Archiving is supported through disk copies and serial transfers of log files.

Brief instructions for using the downloaded file:

	The ZIP file (pcl4demo.zip) contains the following files:
	PC-LOG.EXE		The main program
	PCLCFG.EXE		The PC-LOG configuration program. This program MUST be run before PC-LOG runs, in order to create the configuration file that PC-LOG reads. The first time you run PCLCFG, it will complain that it cannot find an existing configuration file. That's normal, and you should continue on into the program. Make sure you define at least one host/port, and remember to press F2 to SAVE your settings when you're through.
	PC-LOG.HLP		A basic help file for PC-LOG. This file contains specially formatted ASCII text and may be adjusted to reflect customizations and local languages.

We have ported the venerable PC-LOG from its ancient DOS roots to the latest Windows platforms. To read about this new descendent of PC-LOG, visit the PCL32 product page.
