System Log Tab
In a large complex system, it is always a good idea to have some method of
viewing the sequence of recent system events. It can be very helpful for reviewing
and troubleshooting, especially during system installation and set up when the
system is unfamiliar and you’re not sure if your LAN set up is correct, etc. The
Navigator GUI provides a log window for viewing this information. This log is
accumulated until the number of entries matches the setting in the “buffer”
window, after which the earliest entries are discarded as new ones are received.
Because this log is continually being updated, it can be difficult to read. In that
case, click on the “save” button and a “save log as text file” window will open,
allowing you to give the log a name and save it to a directory. You can then review
the saved copy without the hassle of lines scrolling out of view as you are trying
to read them. For saving a partial section of the log, you can drag over the section
to highlight it and then click on the “copy” button. The selected section of the log
will be copied to the clipboard and can subsequently be pasted into a text editor,
email, etc.
