Logging/tracing

All TcCOM objects in the MC project (mover, track, environment, group) log runtime information to inform the user about the state of the object. The priority level ("TraceLevel") can be adjusted individually for each object in order to influence how detailed the logging is. The setting is made via a hidden initial parameter (see Configuration). In principle, various events are described in one (or more) log lines. Each log line contains general information at the beginning (separated by a vertical line).

Each protocol line begins with its priority. The timestamp documents when the event occurred. The TcCOM server is then named, followed by the name of the TcCOM object.

This information is terminated by a colon. This is followed by more event-specific information.

Example:

MSG | 11/6/2025 10:27:50 AM 021 ms | 'TCOM Server' (10): "Axis1 (Planar Mover)": …
