Using the Diagnostic Text Output System

In the diagnostic text window, you can view and monitor the information you need for diagnostics.

When you open the window, the system's diagnostics memory is read, displayed and deleted. To display more data, click “New read” repeatedly. This clears the old window contents.

For a continuous display, click “Continuous Debug in Window”. In this case, additional diagnostic data is appended to the existing contents.

To create a file, click “In File”. This writes the current window contents to a file.

The “Cont. Debug in File” button creates a plain text file that will grow in length.

Using the “Cont. Color Debug in File” button, you can create a special-format file that will grow in length. You can load these files again as you need them (the file icon opens the file selection). These files also contain the color information and the current timestamps for later evaluation.

You can filter individual contents during logging by selecting the relevant check boxes. The filter will only be enabled if the “Direct” check box is also selected.

To add timestamps to the files, select the Timestamp check box.

If you select the Html check box and write data to the file, the file is created in the format that can be viewed with a web browser. Please note that some web browsers may not be able to process very large HTML files.
