Viewing Syslog Messages in External Text-Based Editor

You can open the currently displayed syslog by Syslog Viewer in an external (third-party) text-based editor (e.g., Notepad). Before you can do this, you need to define the path on your computer to where the editor is located.

The text-based editor only includes syslog messages that were displayed in Syslog Viewer when it was activated. Any subsequently received syslog messages aren't added to the text-based editor.
By default, the text-based editor uses the filename syslog.txt.
To view syslog messages in external text-based editor:
1. Define the editor:
a. On the toolbar, click the Options icon; the Options dialog box appears.
b. Under the Miscellaneous group, click the 'External viewer' ellipsis button (), and then browse to and select the location of the executable file of your editor (e.g., Notepad.exe).
c. Click OK.
2. On the toolbar, click the External Editor icon; the text-based editor starts and displays the syslog messages.
