17.4.1 Windows
Since mvIMPACT Acquire driver version 2.11.9 you can access the log files in Windows using
wxPropView. The way to do this is described in Accessing log files.
17.4.2 Linux
Like in Windows, log files will be generated, if the activation flag for loggings called
mvDebugFlags.mvd is available in the same folder as the application (however, using Windows
log files will be generated automatically, because the applications are started from the same folder).
By default, in Linux the mvDebugFlags.mvd will be installed in the installation's destination folder in
the sub-folder "apps". For example, if the destination folder was "/home/workspace", you can
locate the mvDebugFlags.mvd like the following way:
user@linux-desktop:~$ // <- Starting the console window, you will be in the home directory: /home/
user@linux-desktop:~$ cd workspace/apps/ // <- Change the directory
user@linux-desktop:/home/workspace/apps$ ls -l // <- List the directory

In order that log files are generated, you have to execute your app from the folder, where
mvDebugFlags.mvd is located. E.g. if you want to start wxPropView:
user@linux-desktop:/home/workspace/apps$ ./mvPropView/x86/wxPropView // <- Start the executable from the folder, where \b mvDebugFlags.mvd is located.
Another possiblity would be, to copy the mvDebugFlags.mvd file to the folder of the executable:
user@linux-desktop:/home/workspace/apps$ cp mvDebugFlags.mvd ./mvPropView/x86/wxPropView // <- Copy the log activation flag
user@linux-desktop:/home/workspace/apps$ cd ./mvPropView/x86/ // <- Change the directory
user@linux-desktop:/home/workspace/apps/mvPropView/x86/$ ./wxPropView // <- Start the executable
Afterwards, several log files are generated which are listed in files.mvloglist. The log files
have the file extension .mvlog. Please send these files to our support team.
