User Guide/Log Window

The Log window is actually the controlling window of STx. If you close this window, all STx applications will close too. The File menu provides access to the Setup and Control dialog (to make things more interesting, the menu item is not called "Setup and Control", though), and to the Settings dialogs.

If you maximize the STx Log window you can see the STx log. This is especially useful if you encounter problems running STx or if you are a macro application developer, you can write messages to this window using the WRITELOG command.

See the following explanations for details.
