Object State Log (state$.log) - This log is used for troubleshooting an object
in the weather station network. The information in this log conveys the state of
an object at a given time.
Low Level I/O Log (io$SerialPort_1) - This log displays low level incoming
and outgoing communications for a root device (i.e., serial port).
16.2.2 Using LogTool
When the LogTool is first opened, two logs are displayed: the transaction log
and the communication log. The Object State log and the Low Level I/O log
can be displayed by toggling their associated button on the toolbar.
Parsing Options - Toggles the display of the message parsing window.
Toolbars - Toggles the display of an individual tool bar for each of the logs.
You can pause the display of messages for a tool bar by selecting the Pause
check box. You can clear all messages for a log by pressing the Clear
Messages button.
Trans Log, Object State Log, Comms Log - Toggles the display of the
associated Log.
I/O Log - Opens the Low Level I/O log for a specific COM port in a new
window.
TimeStamp Options - Allows you to select the format for the time stamp in
the logs. If none of the options are enabled (an option is enabled if a check
mark appears to the left of the option name), only the time is displayed
(hh:mm:ss AM/PM). If Date is selected, a date (MM/DD/YY) will be added to
the time stamp. If Military is selected, the time stamp will be displayed in 24
hour format instead of 12 hour format. If ms Resolution is chosen, the time
stamp will also include milliseconds.
16.2.3 Saving Logs to File
The log messages currently being displayed on the LogTool screen can be
manually saved to a text file by selecting File | Save Log Windows to File. In
addition, these logs can be printed by selecting File | Print Log Windows.
