Each Project window also contains one Log and Trace window in a tabbed format along the bottom of the Project window frame. (See Figure 3.8.) The Log tab displays log messages from either the currently running or most recently run model. Each log message has a Severity Level associated with it along with the source and simulation time of the message.

The Tracer feature must be enabled for trace messages to appear in the Trace tab. You enable the Tracer feature by using a pop-up menu available on the Trace tab background. Trace messages are generated by individual blocks during the execution of a model and are intended to provide details about events and execution flow within the blocks.

Additional details about the log and trace facilities in Simulation Studio are provided in Chapter 10, Log and Trace.
