Introduction
The Log view shows all important occurrences for the MADRIX HARDWARE MANAGER itself and its communication with devices.
Such logging and subsequent files are very helpful for technical support and assistance, but aren't necessarily required for the general use of the software. Still, it can provide you with valuable information and feedback for troubleshooting.
▪By default, the log view is hidden.
▪To show it, enable it in the menu View > Log
