TwinCAT Logged Events window
 | Compatibility The TwinCAT Logged Events window is available from Visual Studio 2013. |

The toolbar in the window provides the following functions:

| The language can be selected or entered via the drop-down menu. |

TwinCAT options
The TwinCAT engineering settings in the TwinCAT options (Tools > Options) provide basic settings for the TwinCAT 3 EventLogger.
MaxLoggedEvents | Maximum number of messages displayed in the TwinCAT Logged Events window. |
Output as Task Item | Display of the events in the Error List window. The display in this window makes sense because it does not have to be loaded, but instead takes place synchronously. The display is not designed for a large number of messages, however, so this means that the option can also be used to deactivate the display if necessary. |
