Public Sub SetLogFile (
LogFileName As String,
LogFileType As String
)C++
public:
virtual void SetLogFile(
String^ LogFileName,
String^ LogFileType
) sealedParameters
- LogFileName String
- Fully qualified trace file name or null string to use automatic file naming (recommended)
- LogFileType String
- String identifying the type of log e,g, Focuser, LX200, GEMINI, MoonLite, G11
Remarks
The LogFileType is used in the file name to allow you to quickly identify which of several logs contains the
information of interest.
Note This command is only required if the trace logger constructor is called with no parameters. It is provided for use in COM clients that can not call constructors with parameters. If you are writing a COM client then create the trace logger as:
TL = New TraceLogger()
TL.SetLogFile("","TraceName")
If you are writing a .NET client then you can achieve the same end in one call:
TL = New TraceLogger("",TraceName")
