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.

6.2.3 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.

Log files can be saved to individual files automatically by selecting Options |

Log File Settings from the LogTool menu and selecting To Disk for the

appropriate log. In addition to controlling whether the logs are saved to files,

Log File Settings also lets you set the size and number of log files that are

created. One set of log files each is created for the Transaction,

Communication, and Object State logs. For the Low Level I/O logs, one set of

logs will be created for each of the root level devices in the network. Once the

maximum number of logs have been created (set by the File Count) the next

log file created will overwrite the oldest file.
