Event Log

Several debugging tools are available in flrig, including the ability to observe code execution in various parts of the program.

The event log is opened from the "Help/Events" menu item. It allows you to view the serial and xmlrpc data exchanges between FLRIG, FLDIGI, xmlrpc transactions, and the transceiver.

Tracing Program Execution

The trace tool sends time annotated data to both a viewing dialog and a file named "trace.txt" which is written to the flrig files folder. The trace tool is very useful to the programmer developing a 3rd party application using the flrig xmlrpc server. It may also be used at the request of a support person assisting the user with transceiver connection or data stream issues.

Configure code execution trace

Trace support code - main processing loop execution points.
Trace debug code - replicate the event log debugging output.
