Operator Statistics File (.log)

CSEntry generates an operator statistics .log file for the primary data file when executing non-CAPI entry applications. The .log file is a comma-delimited text file with a fixed format. It is designed to be easily imported into other software packages for custom processing. The log file can also be processed by a CSPro application with the appropriate data dictionary. To facilitate this effort, a dictionary matching the .log file's format (shown below) has been provided with the CSPro installation. The dictionary can be found in the Examples folder:
%UserProfile%\Documents\CSPro\Examples 8.0\1 - Data Entry\Data Entry Log File\logfile.dcf
Note: For CAPI entry applications, a .cslog file is generated, which can be viewed using the Paradata Viewer Tool.
Each record in the .log file represents one data entry session. The record layout is as follows:
