New
The New command opens a new log file and prompts user to save it in the logger directory.
The default name and directory of the log file in the dialog box can be changed in the dialog.
You can also enter an existing log file name. The old logger information (from an earlier
session) will be displayed and the new logger information will be appended to it. The New
command and the corresponding icon are only available when a logger tool has been opened.
Open for Editing
The Open for Editing command opens an existing file and enables the user to edit the contents
of the file. After activating this command, the ToolBox displays a dialog box, as shown
below. The user can specify whether the file to be opened is an Error log or a Diagnostics log.
The Open dialog box defaults to the appropriate sub-directory of the ToolBox log
(c:\Itbox550\log) directory, where logger files are stored by default.
Select the log file (see parameters below) and click OK to load it.
Dialog box parameters
Use the parameters in the order specified below. Normally you’ll only use the File Name
parameter.
Look in
If the currently displayed directory is not the correct one, double-click the drive letter at the
right of the Look in list and locate the directory. To access sub-directories, double-click parent
directories.
File Name
Type the name of the logger file. The ToolBox automatically adds the .log extension.
Alternatively, locate the file name in the file list, and double-click the name.
Files of Type
This box shows the type (extension) of the files currently displayed in the File Name list. If the
displayed file type “filter” is not .log, open the drop-down list and select the .log type.
