Hi @kseo, You can use the Log Viewer. That is available [here](https://www.universal-robots.com/download/software-e-series/support/ur-log-viewer/log-viewer-v1210/) Ebbe ---

You can use record example from [GitHub - UniversalRobots/RTDE\_Python\_Client\_Library: RTDE client library and examples](https://github.com/UniversalRobots/RTDE_Python_Client_Library) ```auto usage: record.py [-h] [--host HOST] [--port PORT] [--samples SAMPLES] [--frequency FREQUENCY] [--config CONFIG] [--output OUTPUT] [--verbose] [--buffered] [--binary] optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit --host HOST name of host to connect to (localhost) --port PORT port number (30004) --samples SAMPLES number of samples to record --frequency FREQUENCY the sampling frequency in Herz --config CONFIG data configuration file to use (record_configuration.xml) --output OUTPUT data output file to write to (robot_data.csv) --verbose increase output verbosity --buffered Use buffered receive which doesn't skip data --binary save the data in binary format ``` ---

Hello I want to extract the log data without TCP/IP connection. For Example, Using the UR magic file(BACKUP LOG HISTORY FILE) can extract ‘realtimedata.csv’ without TCP/IP connection. But, The file is specific data when something like protected stop happened. Thank you. ---

You can use rtde python client on the robot, so it’s matter of preparing specific magic script. ---

Hello mmi Is it possible to use rtde python client on the robot activate stand alone? The method which I am looking for can used need not to connect to any other computer. Thank you. ---

Yes, there are no external dependencies in RTDE library. It connects directly to controller internal public interfaces. Copy github repository contents to the robot, and follow examples.
