Log File

The names of data files created or loaded, comments entered, stimulus programs used, and other events are stored along with the time that the event occurred. The log file can be used like an experimenter's notebook to keep a written record of the experiment. A new log file is opened on a daily basis with a name in the form dd-mm-yy.log and stored in the WinWCP program directory.
