There are several ways to open paradata logs:
- When you install CSPro, the extension .cslog is associated with the Paradata Viewer, so you can open a paradata log by double-clicking on the log using Windows Explorer.
- You can open the Paradata Viewer and then select File -> Open Log. You can select one more logs.
- You can open the Paradata Viewer and then drag one or more logs onto the tool from Windows Explorer.
The tool can only load one log at a time, so if you select more than one log, you will see a dialog with the title Concatenate Logs? The tool can automatically merge the logs into a single log which the tool can open. You can concatenate the logs to a temporary result, in which case the result will be deleted when the tool is closed. Alternatively, you can concatenate and save the results to a log that you can open again in the future. If you have a log currently open, you can select an option to include that open log in the concatenated result.
You can open a log that is currently in use by CSEntry, but you may not see the events saved by the current data entry application until CSEntry closes.
To close an open log, simply select File -> Close Log.
