The Log Console dock window shows the textual output from code generation, external tool execution, and specific information about selected model elements (such as all triggers handled by a given state). The Model Explorer dock window can be shown or hidden by means of the menu or the View Toolbar :
The log console is read-only, but you can select any part of the text and copy it to the Clipboard.
The Log Console provides a pop-up menu, which you activate by right-clicking anywhere inside the text area.
The available options are as follows:
The QM™ code generator might report errors to the Log Console. Typically, an error message pertains to a specific model item. In that case, the Error Console allows you to quickly navigate to the erroneous item by double-clicking on the error message. For example, the screen shot below shows an error message associated with a state item. Double-clicking on the line with the error message opens the corresponding state machine and locates the erroneous state.
The Log Console also displays output from any External Tools that you invoke directly from QM™ (such as make, lint, unit tests, flash programmers, etc.)
For example, the following screen shot shows the output from a code upload to an embedded target. Please note that this example shows a "long-running" utility, which produces the output incrementally as the code is being uploaded and programmed to the flash memory of the embedded MCU.
The Log Console also can display additional information about the model, such as all signals handled by a state in a Hierarchical State Machine (HSM)↑.
