STM Online Help: mstm Online Help (menu interface)

UI Act Log
Consult the UI Activity Log when you want to view a display of errors recorded by the user interface. The
dialog box for this log allows you to view and save the contents of the log to a file, print a hardcopy of the
current log contents, or clear the current log contents.
There is only one copy of the log on a single machine, even though more than one mstm session may be
executed. Each log entry contains a label containing a timestamp, the user name, and the UI process ID, in
order to distinguish between separate mstm sessions on the same machine (for example, "Wed Dec 7
15:18:49 1994: User Name: bobcap, UI Process ID: 27697").
The UI Activity Log is not temporary; all other mstm session files are removed, once the session is
terminated.
If the log file reaches the configurable size threshold, a warning will be displayed to inform you.
Clear the UI Activity Log
If you select this command, you will clear the current UI Activity Log of its present contents.

running. If the local Unit Under Test (UUT) is connected, it will be disconnected before the system
is shut down. A warning/confirmation will be displayed, stating that the diagnostic system is being
shut down and can only be restarted by the root user.
