LAVISION Davis 8.2 - Shipment of defective items

7.6 Shipment of defective items
Show absolute time stamps : If this option is checked, each output
line is additionally preceded by an absolute time counter value
(microseconds). This counter can be reset by calling the
TimerReset() function inside the DLL
Close log file after each output line (for ’TAIL’): This options must
be checked if a TAIL program is used for watching the log file, or if
you expect a possible crash of DaVis.
Disadvantage: the logging is much slower (minimum time for an
output line about 0.5 millisecond). If this option is unchecked, the log
file remains open so you can view it only after switching the logging
off.
Append to log file, don’t clear it: If this option is unchecked, the
output ’CameraLog.txt’ is cleared (i.e. deleted) and a new logging is
started. If the option is checked, new logging output is appended to
the existing file.
On the bottom of the dialog, the syntax of a CL function call is displayed
which sets the logging (debugging) to the state displayed in the dialog
window.
The Logging On button closes the dialog and activates the logging. After
this, the activity of all cameras is logged in the ’CameraLog.txt’ file.
Unless you specify the 3rd option above, the file remains open for writing
so you cannot view (read) it.
By clicking the Logging OFF, Show log file button you stop camera
activity logging (if it was active). The resulting ’CameraLog.txt’ file is
closed and immediately displayed in a editor (default: ConText).
Logging is automatically activated when DaVis initializes the cameras
during startup (or after clicking ’Initialize’ in the Hardware Setup dialog).
You can see initialization details, some camera properties or possibly error
messages in the ’CameraLog.txt’.
