debugging remote control programs. Selected using your

message transactions occurring between the external controller and
the oscilloscope (full dialog), or errors only. You can view the log at
any time on-screen and can choose from three levels:
OFF
Don't assist at all.
EO
Log detected Errors Only (default after power-on).
FD
Log the Full Dialog between the controller and the
oscilloscope.
