9.2 Error Log

The simulator provides an interface that loaded modules may use to report critical errors or unexpected conditions. The messages are always written to a file, and the most-recent messages may be displayed in a window. The error log may not be disabled.

The most-recent error log entries may be viewed by selecting the "View→Error Log" entry from the Main Window menu, shown in Figure 9-2.

The error log file is enabled by checking the "Log to File" check box in the Message log dialog (Figure 9-2)and setting a filename for the error log. This file is created (or truncated to zero length if it already exists) and opened whenever a BSD file is opened or a new BSD is created. The error log is closed whenever the BSD is closed.
