APIcom Instruction Manual Advanced Features
Beware that the log files can get very large. For example, if automatic display updating at 5-second
intervals is enabled, APIcom stores about 280 bytes per display update, per instrument in the log file.
That works out to about 67.2 kbytes per hour, or about 1.6 MB per day, per instrument. Also, the log file
is locked for access while APIcom is running.
Timeout errors will always appear in the log file. These are not necessarily errors, though they might be.
In some cases, the APIcom can detect the end of a transmission of data from an instrument only by
waiting for a timeout to occur. Rather than have APIcom determine whether a timeout is normal or an
error, it is easier to record all timeouts as errors in the log file.
