The Rescan Ports button will scan for changes in the list of serial ports if you happen to plug or unplug a USB Serial adapter while MacLoggerDX is running. Normally you won't need to use this button unless you unplug/replug USB/Serial adapters while MacLoggerDX is running.

The Beta Expires: text area shows the expiration date for beta versions. (Release versions do not expire).

The Debug checkbox enables trapping the data coming from and going to the radio and rotor in a file for diagnostic purposes and to aid in writing new drivers. It should not be left on for normal operation.

The Internet Errors: text area shows lookup errors in the last hour and since the session began.


Moving MacLoggerDX or the log folders...

There are only 3 things to consider when moving to another disk or Mac ...

  1. The MacLoggerDX folder as downloaded (which can always be downloaded again). It can be stored anywhere.
  2. The Prefs file: ~/Library/Preferences/MacLoggerDX Settings This is where your registration and site prefs are stored - it can always be recreated on any boot disk with the Station Info Dialog as long as you have your call and registration number.
  3. Your log folders. You are responsible for backing up your log data. You can move these folders anywhere and then point MacLoggerDX at them with the Logs popup in the Prefs Panel.
