Detailed Technical Log. This user-scrollable screen allows SpinRite's detailed technical log to be reviewed while it is being generated during the performance of SpinRite's operations.
Detailed Technical Log. SpinRite creates a running log, which can optionally be written to a file or other device, detailing its operation and findings: This log can be reviewed at any time during SpinRite's operation, or after completion, and the cursor pad may be used to scroll back through the most recent 200 lines of logging activity. The “View or Change Settings” menu allows SpinRite's logging behavior to be specified. Logs can be written to the same partition or drive SpinRite is working within, to any other drive or partition, or to any valid DOS device, such as a printer. When logs are being written to a file, the file's name is of the form \SPIN_LOG.X where “X” is the letter of the drive SpinRite has logged into the file. This allows logs for multiple partitions to be collected into a single partition without confusion. SpinRite will automatically append successive logs onto existing log files, and will limit the number of prior logs retained to anything specified by the user in the options settings.
