Viewing Log Information


The Log Manager is a collection of log outputs, where each test system component can report information. The Log Manager contains one log per test component, and one common pane that is used for general information.

The Log Manager can be configured to behave in various ways. The default setting is for the Log Manager to be hidden, but appear whenever log output is present. Only one instance of the Log Manager is available.
