Output Panel

Output Panel is the result panel at the bottom of the main window that shows script output, runtime errors, and search results across three tabs. Show it from ViewView Result List (Ctrl+Shift+O).

The three tabs each hold a different kind of information. Output shows the logs printed by scripts and system messages, Error List shows the errors raised at runtime, and Search_List shows search results. While working, you switch between tabs to check the run state and any problems.

Output tab

The Output tab is where the script's Log() output and system messages accumulate in chronological order. Use it to trace equipment behavior or to confirm that a script flows as intended.

The Clear item in the right-click menu of the list erases all accumulated output. Clearing it before starting a new run lets you check only the output of this run cleanly.

Error List tab

The Error List tab shows the errors raised at runtime, one per row. You can see at a glance which error occurred and when, and select multiple items together to examine them.

The Clear item in the right-click menu of the list empties the error list. The error messages shown follow what is defined in the Error Editor and the Message Editor.

Search_List tab

The Search_List tab shows the results of a search performed with Search (Ctrl+F) on the main window toolbar. When there are no results, the No search results notice is shown.

Search places results in a separate sub-tab per keyword. Searching with a new keyword opens a new tab, up to ten are kept, and searching again with the same keyword refreshes the existing tab's results rather than creating a new one. Each sub-tab's header has the search term and a close (×) button.

Each result is shown in the following columns.

ColumnContent
CategoryThe main category the result belongs to.
SubThe sub-category.
LineThe line position of the result.
MessageThe body with the search keyword highlighted.

Right-clicking the result list opens the following menu.

Workflow

  1. Show the result panel with Ctrl+Shift+O.
  2. While a script runs, check Log() output and progress in Output.
  3. If an error occurs, check the raised errors in Error List.
  4. Search with Ctrl+F and check the results in the sub-tabs of Search_List.
  5. When output piles up, clear it with the right-click Clear to prepare for the next task.
