Using logging
The Serial Session Viewer has a logging function that saves the contents of a session to a file. You can
enable automatic logging or dynamically start logging at any time. Additionally, you can pause, resume,
and stop logging, regardless of whether it was started automatically or dynamically.
While logging is occurring or when it is paused, the status bar at the bottom of the Serial Session Viewer
window contains a logging status label.
NOTE: When you select or clear automatic logging, the logging begins or ends at the start of the next
Serial Session Viewer session to that unit. If you change the default log file directory used for automatic
logging, the change does not take effect until the next session to that unit.
The format of log file names is shown as follows, where <mmddyy> represents the month, day and year,
and <hhmmss> represents the current hour, minute, and second in military time.
