Debug Log

Overview

■ Function Overview
The debug log is a log that analyzes the program behavior of the machine to enable developers to identify problems.
This machine is embedded with this function to collect the history for the behavior of each software module in the debug log and
output it as an integrated log for analyzing problems.
Since the frequency of outputting the debug log and the content of the log can be changed, the settings need to be changed
according to the trouble that occurs and the situation.
However, the on-site service technician does not need to make such decisions because instructions are sent from the Support
Dept. of your sales company.
