Log

The Log tab displays a date- and time-stamped running record of a GALAXY processor’s operation. This display is a subset
of all log data (includes client level messages). For a more detailed log history (that might help Meyer Sound Tech Support,
for example, in a debug situation), use the Save System Logs button under the Settings tab. Clicking this button will save
more information, including kernel logs and operating system details.
