Log
The log keeps tracks of what happened. Before everything else, it shows some informations
that allow you to read correctly what will appear next, like the range of values for each quality

The most important thing that will be logged is the measures, with their signal strength, quality,
saturation level and associated gain. Clearing the measures of the histogram will not clear the

done and when.
If you want, you can clear the log by pressing the
button on the top menu.
You can scroll the log up and down using the touchscreen.
