Configure the general settings of the PXI.

Complete the following steps to configure the General node:
  1. Open PCU configuration settings » General.
  2. Configure the following settings.
    1. Select a Language for the messages of all runtime systems.
    2. For MaxLogDays, select the maximum age of log files of the runtime system in days.

      If you unload tests with errors, the runtime system creates a log archive. Archives are created separately for each runtime system in the log subdirectory of the PAtools network. Logs contain all of the information required for error analysis.

      The file names of these log archives have the following schema: rtzlog<Runtime system number>_yyyy_mm_dd_hh_mm_ss.zip.

      The log archives are located in the following directory: /home/patools/log.

      If the log archives are older than MaxLogDays, the log archives are deleted.

  3. Optional: If necessary, configure the following additional settings.
    1. For DspDelim, enter the ASCII code of the separator used in the CSV file.
      You can also enter the result files to delimit columns.
    2. For DspNetcdfVarConv, select whether . is converted to _ in NetCDF and Uniplot variable names.
      Older versions of the NetCDF software did not allow ..
    3. For DisableLoggingTill, select a date up to which the creation of log archives is not required.
      After the DisableLoggingTill date, log archives are automatically created again. The DisableLoggingTill parameter is useful for preventing the time-consuming creation of log archives during a defined period of time.
    4. For BackupConfiguration, select whether to export the current configuration of the PXI controller every time the PXI controller starts.
      If selected, a backup directory is created in the following location: /home/patools/backup. The settings are stored as .pcfg files.
