Use the Output window to view additional information about your project as well as the number of printed messages (entries). By default, the window is located in the bottom-right corner of the project development environment.

These are the available actions on the Output window:

Filter: Simple filter to select which messages will be displayed. If the text typed in the filter is present in any of the messages, they will be displayed and the others will be hidden.

: show/hide errors

: show/hide warnings

: show/hide information

: show/hide debug messages

: pauses the LogWin to stop displaying new messages

: clears the LogWin contents

: open the Settings window

Select messages using common keyboard commands such as Ctrl+A, Shift+Click, Ctrl+Click, and copying messages to the clipboard using Ctrl+C.

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 runtime messages from the tags database, the communication drivers, the background tasks, the project security system, and so on, as well as certain maintenance messages generated by the project development environment itself. You can use these messages to test and debug your project.

  • 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 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 Output window is dockable, which means you can drag it to another position in the project development environment.
