9 Logging

The simulator provides support for three types of logging:

∙A message log that can provide detailed text data from simulator devices and modules.

∙An error log that provides text messages in response to critical errors or unexpected conditions.

∙I/O Logging that provides detailed information about PCI Configuration, I/O and Memory Space accesses.

9.1Message Log

The simulator shell provides an interface that loaded modules (devices and extensions) may use to report status and events. The messages may be displayed in a window, written to a file, or both. The information log may be enabled and disabled on a module-specific basis.

The informational log is controlled via the "Message Log Window" dialog box. To view this dialog, select the "View→Message Log" entry from the Main Window shell menu.

A sample of this dialog is shown in Figure 9-1:
