Log files

[Petera]

Is there a log file in a solution which records time loaded and zeros version?

[Simonkbike]

For clarification, do you mean a log of when the zeros version was loaded?

When you save a show file, this will be saved with a timestamp of the console's date/time, and will also include the console's current software version information. Is this the information you are after?

The idea was to check when the solution was last booted up or reloaded.

In ZerOS there is no information that logs the system time of the last boot up. Would you be able to explain why this information might be useful in your situation?

Hi Edward,

Sometime ago our solution rebooted mid show (not during a cue change). We now have an flxs but decided to to check out the solution.

All connectors and pcbs etc have been reseated and it seems stable, but for testing the idea was to leave it switched on and check if it had reloaded.

Hi Petra, 

When it reboots does it generate an error messages and ask you to save a debug file or does it come back in as if nothing has happened.

When i have been looking for odd issue like this, i have set up an automated cue stack that the first cue needs a button push to trigger the next but it then runs through a set of cues and loops back at the end to one of the earlier cues and contiunes to cycle round the loop. If you then diasable to recovery mode if the power goes off it will wait at cue 1 until go is pushed again.

Have a look at the attached file.

Sorry to hear that. Do you know what software version the Solution console was running at the time?

Hi Keith & Edward,

The couple of times it rebooted it continued as if nothing had happened!

Unfortunately I don’t know the zeros release buy can say it was at least two versions ago.

Thanks for the cue list I will try it next week when next on site.

If you're not running the latest version, I'd recommend updating your console's software. ZerOS 7.14.2 is currently the latest version, available from the webpage below...
