3.7 Viewing PC Log Files
After one or more PC log files have been created, the logs may be viewed by using PanaView as follows:
1. You can access PC logs in two ways:
• From the New Meter Browser in PanaView, expand the network tree and click on the PC Logs option. If you have
created one or more logs, the tree will appear similar to Figure 22. Double-click on the log name to open the
log, or
• Pull down the Output menu (see Figure 13 on page 6), and click on the Log Browser option. Advance to the PC
Logs dialog box as described in previous sections. A screen similar to that shown in Figure 23 appears.

Figure 23: Selecting a Log File from the Log Browser
Notice that each of the log files in Figure 22 and Figure 23 has a traffic light icon next to its name. These icons indicate
the current status of the log as follows:
•
red light - log has not run to its specified stop time but has been manually stopped
• green light - log is currently running but is not yet complete
2. In the Log Browser , after you highlight the name of the desired log file, the following option buttons become
available:
• [Start] - resumes logging if the log is currently stopped
or
[Stop] - stops logging, if the log is currently running
• [Delete] - permanently deletes the log file
• [Open] - opens the log in the PC Log window
3. Click on one of the option buttons listed in Step 2 above.
You can monitor the progress of an ongoing log in several ways:
•
Click on the Log Items tab (see Figure 21 on page 10) for a list of the parameters specified for logging.
