wRTOS Console

You can view output from real-time applications using wRTOS Console. You can configure the display and logging of real-time process output through the Process Output page in wRTOS Settings.

The text in the console's title bar will be different based on how Configure how real-time process output should be displayed is configured in wRTOS Settings:

Output display setting	Title bar text
All output in one console window	wRTOS Subsystem Output
Separate console window for each process	The Process ID (PID) and name of the process. For example: PID 1013 - Srtm.rtss

Note: Some per-process consoles may not display the RTSS module name. This can happen if the real-time process terminates before its output is displayed.

Toolbar Options

The toolbar at the bottom of the wRTOS Console window contains settings that allow you to change the console display, search, and save output.

Changing Text Attributes

Use the Text size and Text font settings to change the output text attributes. These settings persist per user between instances of wRTOS Console.

Wrapping Text

Click the Line Wrap button to wrap lines of text in wRTOS Console output. This setting persists per user between instances of wRTOS Console.

Clearing the Screen Buffer

Click Clear to clear the screen buffer (console display).

Saving Output

Click the Save button. This opens a Save As dialog, where you can specify the output location and file name. Changes to the save location are retained per user.

The folder location where real-time process output logs are saved is determined by the Log file location setting in the wRTOS Settings under Subsystem / Process Output.

The default filename depends on how display of real-time output is configured in wRTOS Settings:

Output display setting	Log filename
All output in one console window	wRTOSSubsystemOutput<TimeStamp>.txt
Separate console window for each process	<PID><NAME>Output<TimeStamp>.txt

Searching Console Output

To search console output, click the Find button or use the CTRL + F shortcut to open the Find dialog:

Enter the text you are searching for and click Find Next or press Enter. You can continuously click Find Next or press Enter to search for the next instance of the search text.

Optionally, you can:

Select Match case to find only results that match the case of the search keywords.
Select Reverse search to search console output in a backward direction.

Note: The maximum length of the search text is 80 characters.

If there are no more instances of the text being searched, a prompt will appear and searching will begin at the top of the document.
