JAGUAR PRO ONLY

LOGGING has been made easy in Jaguar: you can send your loggings (both standard loggings and offset loggings) to many targets with one single click using LOGBOX (see LOGBOX help for details).

The classic logging to a text file supports several formats (the logging layout can be fully customized by the user). Jaguar's text file log is named as LOG.CSV and it is maintained in LOGS folder located in the Jaguar installation folder.

In addition to the classic text file based logging, Jaguar supports the "DAYLOG" concept (see DAYLOG help for details). These day based logs are named as DAY.LOG and saved to the same day folders where the recordings are saved.

MWLI users can also use the builtin direct logging interface to MWLI logging database (see MWLI help for details).

In addition, Jaguar's own CATBOOK documentation database captures loggings automatically => you'll get stations "marked" on TURTLE and MAPS with minimum effort. Additional history data (personal notes) can be added using CATBOX (see CATBOX help for details).

If you just want to quickly change the colour of any station on MAPS / TURTLE (for example to set "heard" status for it on the MAPS and TURTLE), you don't need LOGBOX for that - Jaguar supports a special fastpath tool for changing that colour by "tagging". STATION MENU (see STATION MENU for details) contains a TAGGER function, after activating it you can change the colour of many stations on the selected frequency just by clicking them on a map or TURTLE one by one. The colour of the stations on MAPS is controlled by P-TAGS (see P-TAGS help for details).



HOW TO

While direct logging to MWLI and Jaguar's own internal logging tools are widely used, many users still want to log stations also to a classic text file. By default, the logging output is based on OLL (Online Log, popular in Finland and Norway), but users can tailor the output format with [CUSTOM] parameter

LOGMODE=parameters

The output row can be freely customised with fixed literal strings and LOGMODE parameters. Each parameter is four characters long, preceded by #. JAGUAR fills the parameter value in during logging. The valid parameters are as follows:

#NAME #FREQ #DATE #TIME #CALL #ITUC #USER #USRN #OFFS #QSAC #ZONE #YYYY #MMMM #DDDD #HHHH 
#MINS #MNTH #SECS #FILE #LINE #DIST #COMM #TENT #SINP #CLAT #CLON #SSBC #CALX #NAMX #ANTX

For example, when

LOGMODE=#FREQ #TIME #NAME #COMM #USER

is defined, LOGBIX generates log lines with frequency, time, station name, comments and userid.

LOGMODE=#FREQ;#CALX;#NAMX-#COMM;#SINP;#HHHH#MINS;#DDDD/#MMMM;USER

This setting instead produces an optimal logging line for the MWC log format; #CALX and #NAMX generate strings designed for MWC in mind. USER must be replaced by the user initials used in MWC, which may be different from #USER which generates the JAGUAR userid. All values are separated by a semicolon, so the output file can also be loaded to Excel.
