The other options in this dialog allow you to determine what activities are entered in the log. If an
option is not checked, that type of entry is not included in the log.
Log commands sent
Check this box, and every time an On, Off, or Dim command is sent to your interface hardware,
HCA enters it into the log.
Log commands received
Check this box, and every time an command is received from your interface hardware, HCA enters
it into the log.
Log when programs start and stop
Check this box if you want to log whenever a program starts or stops. Unlike the "Log executed
program elements" option, this option only adds log entries when a program starts running and
when it stops. No other executed elements are logged.
Log executed program elements
Check this box if you want to log program elements. This means that for every program that is
started, as each element of the program is executed, HCA makes an entry in the log. You may find
this useful for verifying new or modified programs perform as you expect them to.
Log each time a flag value changes
Check this box if you want to log whenever one of your flags changes its value. Flags are
described in Chapter 9 with Programs.
Log addresses received separate from commands
Usually when X10 signals are received they come in pairs with an address and a command. HCA
can consolidate this into one entry in the log, for example “A1 ON”. If you would rather see a log
entry for each reception, enable this option
