The viewer allows you to browse control system messages, receiving updates from the live system as well as those previously logged. You can specify keyword filters to narrow messages to only those that interest you. It also supports printing, saving to a file, cutting and pasting, sorting, pausing and resuming.
How do I use it?
Starting
...
Within SEAL
...
: Start the cmlog viewer by starting its Eclipse View. That is, Window -> Show View (you may need to select Other ... at this point) SEAL -> cmlog. Once started, use the File -> Get Messages dialog to connect to a cmlog server.
...
Stand-Alone viewer
...
: Run cmlogviewer from the command-line.
...
If you choose to retrieve old messages only, then you specify a time range in the text box. Only messages logged within that time range will be retrieved by the viewer. You may select a pre-defined time range, or enter one yourself in the format of "begin - end". In addition to the standard mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss format, you may also use several special phrases as shorthand. (e.g. 11/26/07 08:00 - 11/26/07 12:30, or current day - now, or current hour - current minute, or current day - current shift). If instead of using a pre-defined date or typing one manually, you select "Assist..." from the drop down box, you'll get a little wizard that will help you construct a time range by specifying an anchor time and a duration.
