This group defines where the log is directed. There are the following three options:

Printer: Sends the log file to the defined printer.
- Change Printer: Click to change the default printer.
File: Saves the log file, with a name of your choosing, to the defined location.
Note: As an option, when you are naming the log file, you can manually add a string of date/time formatting codes to the name, that will automatically add the current date and or time to the file name. The exact format is determined by the codes that are used. For example, the following formatting codes, C:\Users\<username>\Documents\BlueZone\Session Log %H.%M.%S %m-%d-%Y.txt, will result in a file name that looks like this: Session Log 12.15.23 04-08-2015. Please refer to the Date and Time Formatting Code Table below for all the code options.
- Browse: Click to change the location where the log file is saved.
Serial: Redirects the output to serial device/port. You cannot configure this option through this dialog and it is disabled. To enable the Serial option, you must configure the Host Automation Object. Refer to the BlueZone Advanced Automation Developer's Guide for more information.
- Change: Click to change the serial device/port where the log is directed.

After you configure the logging options, you can start logging. From the BlueZone menu bar, click File → Start Logging.

When logging is started, the menu bar option changes to File → Stop Logging.

When you are finished logging, click File → Stop Logging.
