Color Matching Results Logging If enabled, the results of the tool will be logged to a file. If the extension of the destination file is csv, then the log is written in csv format, which opens with Excel. If a different extension is selected, the log is written in a plain text format (similar to the ACE Sight 2 format). The size of the log file can be set (default size is 5 Mb).
