Retrieving the RS6100 Log File

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.
