The Log files section of the View Activity Screen shows the list of activity logs available for viewing. Here, there are several actions that you can perform:

Delete - deletes the selected file.

Show file explore for block delete of files - opens an explore window to the ActivityLogFiles directory (located at C:\Program Files\Agilent\N5971A\Application Client\TestData\ActivityLogFiles) to allow you to delete multiple files at a time. To regain control of the log file view in the View Activity Log Screen, click the Show file explore for block delete of files icon again.

Rename - allows you to rename the selected file.

New folder - creates a new folder in the ActivityLogFiles directory.

Forward alphabetical sort - sorts the log files in ascending alphabetical order.

Reverse alphabetical sort - sorts the log files in descending alphabetical order.

Expand - expands the log file list to the ActivityLogFiles directory.

Collapse - collapses the log file list to the ActivityLogFiles directory.

Refresh - refreshes the log file list.

Note: Activity Logging is on, the file the data is being written to is shown next to the Activity Logging On icon (activity_logging_on1.jpg)in the list of Log files. Also, the most recent log file while this session of Interactive Functional Test Software has been open and no activity logging is active, is indicated with activity_logging_latest.jpg.

Summary -

The Summary tab provides a list of all the possible types of activities along with the number of times that activity occurred during the logging session. This tab is useful when you want to get a quick summary of the types of activities that were logged in a specific file.
The Summary tab also provides you the option of sending the activity log to the Log Viewer window by right-clicking anywhere in the summary tab. The Log Viewer window that the activity log file gets sent to is the same form the WPA logs get sent to, allowing you to view Activity and WPA log files side by side. See Send to Log Viewer for more information.

Details

The Details tab provides a sequential list of activities that occurred during the session. This tab is a split screen that displays the list of activities for the selected log file, in the order they occurred in the top portion under Activities recorded for log file: <name of activity log file>. You can click on any activity in the top portion of the Details tab and the details corresponding to the selected activity are displayed in the bottom portion of the Details tab under Activity detail.

Note: While you can only send an activity log file to the Log Viewer window by right-clicking in the Summary tab, you can view both the Summary tab and the Details tab in the Log Viewer window.
