Note
If Save Log As RTF File is turned on in the File options (available through
Options in the Edit menu), you can copy a spectrum in a spectral window and
paste it into a log. To delete a pasted spectrum, click it to select it and then press
the Delete key. If you paste a spectrum at the end of a log and the spectrum’s
image is larger than the displayed log window, you can select the image and then
use the right arrow key on the keyboard to go to the end of the log. ▲
The Open Log command toggles between Open Log and Close Log. If your work
is currently being recorded in a log, this command appears in the File menu as
Close Log. When you choose Close Log, the recording of your work is stopped,
the log window is removed from the screen and the command name changes to
Open Log. To resume recording your work in a log, choose Open Log; the
command name will change to Close Log after you open a log file.
You can save the log as a text file or rich text format file on the hard disk. See
“Saving a log as a rich text format (RTF) file” in the “Edit” chapter for details.
You can create and use different log files to keep separate records of your work.
The log you use will be displayed in a window named for the file that contains the
log and the path to the file.
Open or close a log
1. Choose Open Log from the File menu.
A dialog box lists files of the Log Files (*.LOG) file type.
2. To use an existing log, type the name of the log file you want to open or
locate a file and select it by clicking its filename.
You can change directories or drives to locate the file you want to use. Log
files normally use the extension .LOG.
3. Choose OK to start logging in the file you specified.
The log window appears. The title bar of the window shows the pathname of
the log file you have opened. If the log contains information from previous
operations, the information appears in the window as text. You can use the
scroll bar at the right side of the window to bring logged information into
view.
As you perform operations, information is added to the window at the end of
any existing text.
To minimize the log window, click its Minimize button. The log will continue
to record information.
4. To stop logging, choose Close Log from the File Menu.
The log window is removed from the screen and the logged information is
saved in the log file automatically.
