How to open and print a log?
All pure text log files are text files in ASCII format which you can also read, print or edit using simple text
editors of every operating system or with a word processing or table calculation program. Graphic logs can
only be displayed with MELAview/MELAtrace.
The file ending shows the operating system and program with which a file can be opened and processed.
The computer does not usually recognize the log file endings. It is necessary to "inform" the operating sys-
tem that a file with endings such as PRO, STR or LOG should always be opened with the text editor.
The following example of the Windows editor shows how you can link this with a particular ending.
1. Working in Windows Explorer, double click on the
log file.
2. If the file ending is unfamiliar, Windows 10 will display
the following message:
3. Select "Try an app on this PC".
4. Mark the Notepad and confirm with "OK".
Ê You can then open files with this ending via a double-click in Windows Editor.
Alternatively, you can open all text and graphic logs with the documentation software MELAview/
MELAtrace. MELAG has developed MELAview/MELAtrace for the display and sorting of logs and for
recording graphic logs during a program run. Text and graphic logs can be printed from MELAview/
MELAtrace or exported in various data formats.
