The Development Environment Output window Use the Output window to view additional information about your project. By default, the window is located in the bottom-right corner of the project development environment. Output window The Output window has three tabs: • The LogWin tab displays the log messages that are generated by your project. You can select exactly which types of messages are displayed, but generally speaking, the log includes run-time messages from the tags database, the communication drivers, the background tasks, the project security system, and so on, as well as certain "housekeeping" messages generated by the project development environment itself.
You can use these messages to test and debug your project. Note: The Output window cannot display the log for a project running on a remote computer. It also cannot print or save log messages. If you want to do either of those things, use the LogWin command instead. • The XRef tab displays the results of using the Cross Reference command to find where a specific tag is used in your project. The results include the file path and name of the worksheet in which the tag is used, as well as the column and row in the worksheet. So, if something changes in the tag and produces unexpected or unsuccessful results, you can locate all instances of the tag for debugging purposes.
• The Find Results tab displays the results of using the Global Find command. The Output window is dockable, which means you can drag it to another location in the project development environment. Page 43
