Where can I find ASIAIR+ guide logs ?

jpoulette

I've completed several 3-hour Autorun sessions (guiding was very good) but I can't seem to find the guide logs anywhere.

It seems like the "Log" directory is not being generated, either on eMMC, the SC card, or on the USB - when connected either direct or via Station Mode.

I must be missing something - can anyone offer assistance? ASIAIR v2.0(10.46)

OK for those interested, I just completes a 240 60-sec exposure Autorun session.

When completed, the "Log" directory did not show up in ASIAIR+, but when I removes the USB and put it in my computer the directory and *.txt files were all there.

Not quite sure why you would set it up that way - but there must be a reason.

Anyway, now I have 240 exposures to put together (and a log file to observe) !!

It depends on which device you have set up as the default drive.

Well, actually on this device it does not. (ASIAIR v2.0 10.74)

I ran all three 'default' options (eMMC, SD, & USB) and in all cases when an Autorun is completed - the "Log" folder and files only appear once you remove the media from the ASIAIR and insert them into another computer.

Not sure if it's a firmware version issue, or something else. But thank you for responding - you're one of the only replies I've gotten on several different forums.

That is correct. The log folder does not appear in the ASIAIR Image Management window. I think ZWO thinks that it would scare the horses and children.

The folder is in the storage device, and you can either move the device to a computer, or access the device through the Samba server on the ASIAIR through your network.

Check this old thread, for example, on how to access the Samba server

You can also access the built in eMMC memory on an ASIAIR with a USB-C port. That port looks like an external disk drive when connected to your computer.

Hi Chen,

No worries - the mount is guiding nicely. The log files are just a side interest. Our spring-time temperatures swing like crazy here. Two weeks ago we had +15F and today we had +89F. I though it would be interesting to look for any thermal effects on guiding. It appears to perform better at elevated temperatures - not surprising, but I'll need to acquire a lot more data to validate that.

I will try the eMMC access - that sounds handy. Thanks !

+80F right now, and it looks like a good night !
