2-20-1 Operation Log Function
The operation log function records the order and number of user operations.
The following touch panel usage and operations are recorded and saved in CSV format.
• Functional object operation history
• Screen display history
• Macro execution history
• Communications address bit change history
The records can be edited on a personal computer because they are saved as CSV files.

Use the CX-Designer to make settings for the operation log of functional components and changes in
communications addresses. There are no settings in the CX-Designer for the screen display history
and macro execution history.
