After selecting error logging, DIAG uses this device (and/or disk drive) for error logging until you indicate you do not want error logging. You can then specify a new device and/or disk drive by selecting error logging in the Run Time Parameters window. When you specify a new device and/or disk drive, DIAG erases the existing ERROR.LOG file.

If you select the printer, DIAG writes the error messages to the device connected to your parallel port assigned LPT1. If you select the serial port, DIAG writes the error messages to the device connected to your serial port assigned COM1.

If you select Cancel error logging, DIAG changes the error logging response from Y to N.

When you specify the device for error logging, one of the error messages may appear:

Floppy disk A not presentFloppy disk B not presentHard disk C not presentPrinter port not presentSerial port not presentError in printer statusError in serial port statusError in floppy drive A

Record the error message and select a different device for error logging.
