The PROVEtech:TA Log Window

The PROVEtech:TA Log window provides additional status and error information about the calibration and diagnostic server, which runs in the background to process core operations anytime the Measurement and Calibration Toolkit or the Diagnostic Toolkit is running.

Select PROVEtech:TA Log from the system tray to open the PROVEtech:TA Log window. This logging takes place through a separate process that is independent of the Measurement and Calibration Toolkit and Diagnostic Toolkit, so the calibration and diagnostic server continues to log core operations in the background even if the measurement and calibration or diagnostic operation crashes. The last output in the log displays the operation with which a crash is most likely associated. The log can only hold a limited number of messages, so it deletes old messages when it reaches this limit.

Each message is displayed as follows:
  • Standard Status Messages—Displayed in black.
  • Warnings—Displayed in color and identified by the symbol. Warnings indicate a status that may result in a future issue.
  • Errors—Displayed in color and identified by the symbol. Errors usually cause the current function to be aborted.

    • The location of the log file path is %Public%\Documents\AKKA\PROVEtechTA\traces\Trace.txt. PROVEtech:TA creates a new version of this file each time it starts and renames the existing one within the same folder for backup purposes.
