System logging

The MC-X creates an operations log while the power is on. This log can be supplied to Topcon support for troubleshooting purposes.

By default, the system log file restarts when the MC-X starts and the previous log file is removed. You can change to a persistent system log file, which continues to log data without a loss between power cycles. See the procedure below.

To save a log file:

Open MCWEB.

The log file name is automatically created from the MC-X serial number, but you can manually edit it. Enter a File Name and Description, then select OK to save it.
