6.5.5 Log Data

Log files are useful for capturing your program execution and debugging problems.

When you have an MPLAB X IDE error or issue and need to contact technical support, you may be asked to generate log files to help determine the cause of the error or issue. Logging data methods are discussed in the following sections.

Although logs are useful, other information will be required and requested by technical support to help them resolve your issue. This information includes:

• The steps performed that correspond to the log file.
• Details about the project tools, such as which debug and language tools were used and which versions of these tools were selected.
• Other MPLAB X IDE project data as necessary.
