# Log File Reserve Size

This is the amount of memory allocated for the Log File Reserve, set in Kbytes. Factors to consider in setting this parameter are the number and type of channels being sampled, the corresponding Data Logging Sampling Interval, and how frequently the sampled data is to be transferred to another location and cleared from the RTU.

By default, the Catalyst will reserve 256K bytes of memory for the log file. If no log file will be used, this parameter can be set to zero to free more memory for user recorded messages.

Note: The memory configuration for Alarmware and the Catalyst must always be synchronized. Therefore this value cannot be altered while working offline.
