Log Viewer Overview

The Log Viewer is a control that displays the data that has been archived through a single Log List. You can display all of the data from the Log List, or a sub-set of it. A Log Viewer can only display data from one Log List at a time. Any number of Log Viewers can be embedded in a mimic, the only limitation being the amount of physical space and memory available.

By selecting the type of data recorded by a Log List, you can easily create historic alarm lists, process event lists and operator action lists. For more information, on how the Log Lists are configured see the book about Archives. ClosedShow picture
