3.2.2 Capturing a Diagnostic Session to a Log File
You can capture anything you do in a Diagnostics session to a log file. This
feature can be useful for troubleshooting and record-keeping purposes, and for
communication with ProSoft Technology’s technical support team.
1
Open a
Diagnostics
window.
2
To log a Diagnostics session to a text file, click the
Log File
button on the
toolbar at the top of the
Diagnostics
window. Click the button again to stop
the capture.
3
To view the log file created, click the
View Log File
button. The log file will
open as a text file, which can be renamed and saved to a different location.
4
To email the lo
g file to ProSoft Technology’s technical support team, click the
Email Log File
button. (For this to work, Microsoft Outlook must be installed
on your PC.)

If you do multiple sequential captures, PCB will append data from a new
capture to the end of the previously captured data. If you want previous data
to be cleared from the log file each time you start a new capture, click the
Clear Data
button.
