Interval Log File Manager

The "Interval Log File Manager" can be used to apply operations on more than one log file at a time. The manager window lists all log files recorded or imported in the project and allows you to select multiple log files to toggle visibility or remove files. The list of log files also shows you the creation or recording date, the start time, the record count and file size.

The "Interval Log File Manager" shows a list of log files in the project.

Opening the interval log file manager

The "Interval Log File Manager" can be opened from the "Project Explorer", which is normally situated on the left side of the main program window. If not visible yet, select "Project Explorer" from the "View" menu, locate the "Log Files" folder in the "Project Explorer", and right-click this folder with the mouse. From the context menu that appears, select the "Manage Files..." option as shown below:

Right click the "Log Files" folder and select "Manage Files...".

Tool bar

The toolbar contains buttons for most of the options offered by the log file manager. First, select the files in the list by clicking multiple items while holding the CTRL button. Of course It is also possible to select a single item. To select all items on a touch screen device, simply press the 'Select All' button.

The tool bar contains buttons for commonly used operations on log files.

Analyze file

When a single interval log file is selected, the 'Analyze File' button will be enabled. By clicking this button the contents of the log file will be displayed in a Windows Notepad window.

Use the "Analyze File" option to inspect the contents of a log file.

Delete file(s)

You can delete one or multiple log file(s) from your Hydromagic project by clicking the "Delete File" button. Before you can access this button, you must select one or multiple files in the log files list. Before log files are permanently deleted, you must confirm the deletion of the selected log files by clicking the 'OK' button in the confirmation dialog that appears:

You always have to confirm removal of log files.

Select All

With the 'Select All' button, the current selection will be reversed, meaning that when none of the files is selected, clicking this button will select all files. This button has been added to the toolbar to allow touch screen users to select or deselect all files by simply clicking a button.

Toggle Visibility

Use the 'Toggle Visibility' button to toggle the visibility (show or hide) of the selected items in the interval log file list. From the 'Project Explorer', you can toggle the visibility of log files, but you have to toggle them one by one, since there is no way to select multiple items at once. If you want to, for instance, hide all log files, the easiest method is to open the 'Interval Log File Manager' from the 'Project Explorer', then click the 'Select All' button followed by the 'Toggle Visibility' button.
