Introduction

You can output a debug log from AdamApp by using ADAM_DEBUG_PRINT() fuction included in AdamDebug.h. (In this case, you do not need to call ADAM_DEBUG_OPEN() function nor ADAM_DEBUG_CLOSE() function.)

The logs will be saved in non-volatile memory of i-PRO camera itself if the UDP Log setting shown below
was not set.
The non-volatile memory is a ring buffer, thus the older logs will be overwritten by new ones.
The AdamApp log output will be in pf_<install ID>_<processId>.log* within log/adam in syslog.tgz which
can be obtained from the i-PRO Web display.

Also, this tutorial refers to the SDK installation directory as ${SDK_DIR}.

How to view debug logs on i-PRO

(1) Launch Google Chrome

(2) Click the "Extensions" button on the right side of the address bar in Chrome and click "Adam application manager for i-pro".

(3) Enter the IP address of the camera in Target and click the Connect button.

However, you cannot connect to the camera unless you are logged in to the camera.

If you cannot connect, enter the camera's IP address (eg 192.168.0.10) in the browser URL as shown below, and click the "Connect" button while logged into the camera.

Enable UDPLog

Set IP address and port number of PC to receive UDPLog by using Adam Control Extension.

Receive UDPLog

The tools for receiving and displaying UDPLog consists of ‘UDPLog receiving server’ and ‘UDPLog Receiver (Google Chrome extension)’. They are included in the iPRO_CAMERA_SDK as shown below.

UDPLog receiving server

${SDK_DIR}/tool/UDPLogRecvSrv

UDPLog Receiver

${SDK_DIR}/tool/ResourceMonitorExtension
* ‘UDPLog Receiver’ is included in ‘Resource Monitor’.

UDPLog receiving server

Start UDP Log receiving server by disabling the firewall on your PC.
On Windows, run UDPLogRecvSrv.exe. On Linux, run startup.sh.
Here, run ${SDK_DIR}/tool/UDPLogRecvSrv/UDPLogRecvSrv-win32-x64/UDPLogRecvSrv.exe.
Run a startup.sh using a root privilege if you are using well-known port for the UDP Log port number on Linux.

The following window will appear as you start ‘UDPLog receiving server’.

WebSocket Port Setting - Port :

Set port number used for WebSocket between ‘UDPLog receiving server’ and ‘UDPLog Receiver’. Normally, you can use the initial setting. If you receive UDPLogs from two or more cameras, change the setting to prevent duplication.

UdpLog File Setting - Write Limit :

Set the number of lines per file when outputting the received log data to files.

Operation - START / STOP :

Starts and stops receiving UDPLog.

Here, leave the default values and click the START button to start the UDPLog receiving server.

UDPLog Receiver

Launch Resource Monitor. Please refer to here(how to install) and here(how to launch) for how to install Resource Monitor and how to launch Resource Monitor respectively. Select ‘UDPLog Receiver’ in ‘Select Mode’.

WebSocket Settings - WebSocket Port :
Set port number used for WebSocket between ‘UDPLog receiving server’ and ‘UDPLog Receiver’. Normally, you can use the initial setting. If you receive UDPLogs from two or more cameras, change the setting to prevent duplication. The port number should be the same port number specified in [WebSocket Port Setting]-[Port] of ‘UDPLog receiving server’.

UdpLog Settings - Receive IP Address / Receive Port :
Set IP address and UDPLog receiving port number for the PC. Use the port number set in Adam Operation UI.

Here, specify the IP address (192.168.0.70) and port number (514) framed in red below.

Operation - START / STOP / CLEAR / COPY :
Starts and stops receiving UDPLog from the UDPLog receiving server. Click “CLEAR” to clear the display area. Click “COPY” to copy the display area to the clipboard.

Operation - Save To Files
Tick if you want to save UDPLog as files. If this item is ticked, a dialog box to set up the storage directory name appears when you click “START”. The log storage directory is created in the same directory as the UDPLog receiving server.

Operation - Single file
Tick if you want to save all UDPLogs in a single file without splitting the files by the maximum number of lines.

Operation - Show realtime
Tick if you want to display UDPLog on the display area.

Operation - Original log
Tick to display the reception log as it is. The sequence number and the PC time at the time of reception will be added to the beginning of the log data line unless you tick this box.

Operation - Show the latest [NNNN] lines
Select how many lines are displayed on the display area. Older logs will be taken place by the newer logs.

Clock the Operation - START button and confirm that UDPLog is displayed.
