When the scenario is enabled, the scenario log can be opened using the camera view’s context menu. The log allows users to check the scenario triggers. This can be very helpful when configuring a scenario.

At the top, there is a table displayed which contains the logged trigger information. When a log entry (row) is selected, the scenario rule, that caused the log entry, is displayed at the bottom. This means that this rule trigger is selected from the list of triggers and the specific camera configuration is displayed. When the scenario rule that caused an entry is unknown, the entry is displayed in gray. When such a row is selected, the list of triggers will have no selected item and the camera configuration will be empty. Unknown entries are those made before the most recent opening of the properties dialog. Detailed information is only available for the current configuration.

The log can be cleared using the context menu. The checkbox above the table allows you to highlight new log entries. So the scenario can easily be examined while executing.

Note that there are 2 trigger types. Either they belong to a rule (rule trigger), or they belong to a replay trigger command (replay trigger).

The log entries are highlighted in the logging table in different colors for better clarity:

Color

Meaning

Note

White

Rule trigger is released

Blue

Replay trigger of a camera command is released

When the rule is activated afterwards, the replay starts at the trigger event.

Orange

Rule trigger of a rule with camera command has fired but replay trigger has not fired yet.

Cameras, whose replay triggers have not released yet, just start replaying at the given replay speed.

Green

Rule was activated successfully

Scenario switching according to the rule; not all released rule triggers may activate their layouts (see chapter Rules)

Red

Rule has been ignored

This is the case, for instance, when multiple releasing occurs during delay time

Gray

Unknown rule

This log entry was done before the most recent opening of the properties dialog

The log in the image above shows the following events in chronological order (bottom up):

    • rule «F7 OFF» was released (not visible anymore) and the scenario was activated

    • rule «F7 ON» was released and activated

    • rule «F7 OFF» was released again

    • replay trigger «New coil at F1» released

    • rule «F7 OFF» was activated

    • rule «F7 ON» was released again and activated. Video replay refers to replay trigger «New coil at F1» which fired before
