Retrieving the RS6100 Log File

The RS6100 log file is retrieved over a USB connection using a host computer, USB trigger, and the RS507PCTool application.
If running Windows 7 or 8, the RS507PCTool application requires installing the Scanner CDC driver on the host computer. This driver creates a virtual COM port (Scanner Virtual COM Port) when the RS6100 is connected to a host computer via USB. Both RS507PCTool and the Scanner USB CDC driver are available for download from zebra.com/support.
To obtain log messages over a USB connection:
  1. Scan the
    SSI over USB CDC
    bar code to switch the RS6100 USB connection from SNAPI to CDC / SSI.
  2. Connect the RS6100 to the host computer via the USB trigger.
  3. Open the RS507PCTool application.
  4. In the
    Device
    section, click
    Open
    . The virtual COM port assigned to the RS6100 opens and RS6100
    Device Info
    displays.
    When the RS6100 is connected to the RS507PCTool, the logger time on the RS6100 is synchronized with the host computer’s time.
  5. Click
    Get Log
    .
The log file, with the name format
RS507Log_D<date&time>.txt
, is saved in the same directory on the host computer as the RS507PCTool application.
