Open/Access a LogView Window

Open a new LogView tab or wndow
Access an existing LogView tab or window

When the LogPlot program first starts, only the Data Editor and Log Design windows are open. If you proceed to compile a log, the program will then automatically open a "LogView" tab (docked) or window (undocked) in which it will display the plotted log.

To open an existing log plot that you compiled earlier and saved on disk, you can do so by first accessing a LogView window, and then opening the saved log plot file (LPT8).

Because LogPlot lets you keep multiple LogView windows open at any time, it's pretty easy to lose track of which windows are open but buried on your computer screen. The second tip below offers instructions about finding already-open LogView windows.

To open a new LogView tab, select the Windows | LogView | New LogView menu option from the main LogPlot menu.
Or, to open a new, undocked LogView window, select the Windows | LogView | New Standalone LogView Window menu option from the main LogPlot menu.
At this time, you can open a saved plot (.LPT8) file by selecting the LogView window’s File | Open menu option.

To access an existing Log View window, in which a log is already displayed, click on the Window menu in the main LogPlot toolbar. Displayed in this menu will be the names of the current LogView tabs and undocked windows.
Click on the name of the log you wish to access.

LogPlot will bring that tab or window to the foreground.
