FIF Translator - FIF Log File Page
|
FIF Translator keeps historical log files that allow you to track the history of translations from FIF files. FIF Translator can search these files to find the latest program that was translated, then allow you to print formatted information about that file. The date and time are included, along with the part name, and the FIF comment field data.
You can quickly print this information, then include it with your other reports (like Supravision inspection reports) to prove the data used was the appropriate master set. Read the following material to learn how to use this tab page. You can click on many of the screen images to see an enlarged view of that image. |

The Data View Box
The data view box displays the internal data found in the log file.
The box allows you to select and copy the contents of the data to the Windows clipboard.
Since FIF files can contain multiple parts internally, and FIF Translator can convert them during one translation session, log files will show information about every file (see the image below).
