6.2 Logging access activity

By connecting the AdderView’s serial port to a computer, a time stamped log of the AdderView’s activity can be generated. This is useful for applications where it is necessary to keep track of which users have accessed which computers. A simple data logging program may be downloaded from the Adder Technology website (XPLOG.EXE). This enables the activity log to be saved to a file or printed to a printer. This logging program uses the Excel-compatible file XPRODATA.CSV (that may be downloaded from the AdderView – see section 4.2) to cross reference the port and user information to computer and user names in order to generate an informative activity log.

To make use of the activity logging features:

1.Download the program XPLOG.EXE from the support section of the Adder Technology website (www.adder.com).

2.Follow the instructions in section 4.2 to create the Excel compatible file XPRODATA.CSV that contains a list of user and computer names and port numbers.

3.Copy the XPRODATA.CSV file into the same directory as the XPLOG.EXE file.

4.Run the XPLOG file using the following command format:

XPLOG {activity_log_destination} {com_port}
