7.4 Logger
A toolbar in the top part of the window provides the following functions:
Set Marker
Adds a marker text including the current timestamp to the list.
"----------------"
Clear
Deletes the entries stored in the RAM. If you have selected to write the log data to a
file, the RAM content will be saved to the file before deletion.
Settings
Opens the following dialog box: Logger Settings
Auto Scroll
Cyclically refreshes the window contents and automatically scrolls to the last line
containing the most recent entry.
Suspend
Clicking this button suspends logging. This allows the user to diagnose the current
content without overwriting older entries.
NOTE:
No more entries will be recorded.
Close
Closes the Logger dialog box. This does not affect the logging process. Logging continues even if the
window is closed.
Master / Slave
Master / Slave shows the current mode of NetCon parameterization. In slave mode, it is not possible
to make any settings in the Logger. The mode is selected automatically with the first NetCon
instance always being the master; any other instances will run in Slave mode.
As a general rule, it is not recommended to access an echo device by more than one
NetCon instance.
Operation
In this window, you can also select entries with the mouse or by pressing the space bar, and copy
them to the clipboard. To access this function, master access is required.
Right-clicking then opens a context menu which provides the following functions:
Copy
The selected entries are copied to the clipboard and can be pasted into other programs.
Clear Logger
Deletes the entries stored in the RAM. If you have selected to write the log data to a
file, the RAM content will be saved to the file before deletion.
Clear Selection
All selected entries are deselected.
To define which parts of the communication will be logged, open the Logger Settings dialog box. This
function is only available in echocollect.
To specify whether to create the log in the RAM only or to also save it to a file, click the Settings
button in the Logger window.
For more information on the logging function in the device, see the Logger section.
