Default Logging Level

Stations log various messages, of varying levels of importance, to a scrolling text area on the station interface (when running in GUI mode) and, optionally, to a log file. This property specifies the types of message displayed. Basically, you are selecting the amount of information that you want to appear on the station interface and in the log file.

By default, only warnings, application errors, and internal system errors are reported. When the station interface appears, the Detail level list shows the log level specified by this property.

For more information about logging levels, see About Log Message Detail Levels.
