• Log Viewer: displays a list of all log packets in the currently open log file, as shown in the previous slide , it would contain

–Sequence number –Time–Type (log code)–Description (log title)–Subtitle (log subdescription) –Direction (for signaling messages)–Size (in bytes)– Additional information

Log packets are initially listed in the same order in which they are read from the log file. Clicking in the column titles, e.g., Type or Size, reorders the packets by the values in those columns. Clicking a second time in the same column title reverses the order

Parsed text (right):Displays the parsed text for the contents of the log packet selected in the left view.

– Use Ctrl+Shift to select more than one packet for display in the parsed view.

– By default, no more than 10 packets from the multiselection are displayed; however, this can be changed via the Control tab.

– The hex dump can be toggled on/off by selecting/unselecting the Hex Dump checkbox.

Message (bottom) – The message view displays the information, warning, and error messages generated by the

QCAT application window, as well as the processing engine.
