You can open additional log files in separate tabs, provided they are recorded in LOG, TXT, CSV, or XML formats generated by PIPC.LOG, PIGetMsg.exe, or exported from the Message Logs tool.

To open a log file, click the Open File button , browse to the desired log file, and click OK.

You can open files with the following formats.

• LOG files are present on client nodes in the default location (..\PIPC\Dat subfolder), or the user specified location, if a pipc.ini file is found on the local computer

• DAT files belong to the Data Archive or PI SDK and are present on server nodes (..\PI\Log subfolder)

• TXT, XML and CSV formats generated by PIPC.LOG, pigetmsg, or exported from the Message Logs tool.
