Alarms

The Alarm Log section keeps a running list of all alarms. You can apply a filter to see just the types you’re interested in. Note that the alarm log is persistent and only cleared manually. You should clear the alarms once in a while to prevent the list from getting too long. A very long list will slow down ORCA start-up.

Error Logging

System-wide errors are counted and logged in a tree hierarchy, with each level of the tree labeled with a title and the total of all the errors in the children of that branch.

Log Book

You can keep a log book of activities using the ORCA log book. The log book content can be emailed.

E-Mail

If the LogBook or the Status Log is the key window, then you can send their content via email. Just select 'Mail Content' from the main menu:

Scripting

You can email the entire status log from a script:

function main()

{

    s = find(ORScriptTaskModel,1);

    [s sendStatusLogTo:"somebody@somewhere.unc.edu" cc:nil subject:"ORCA status log"];

}

You can email the most recent by number of seconds. In the following case the last 20 seconds are extracted and sent:

function main()

{

    s = find(ORScriptTaskModel,1);

    [s sendStatusLogTo:"somebody@somewhere.unc.edu" cc:nil subject:"ORCA status log from ORCAScrip" lastSeconds:20];

}
