# EthoVision XT logging

Aim

With the logging functionality in EthoVision XT, you enable auditing of (changes to) settings that were made during an experiment. EthoVision XT creates two types of log files:

▪General log file

In this Application log the usage of EthoVision XT by authorized users is registered. See The General log file

▪Experiment log file

One for each experiment, to register the settings made and actions carried out during that experiment. The user, date and time are logged for each setting and action. See The Experiment log file

Notes

▪The user can at any time add additional user comments to the Experiment log file.

▪The log file is tamper-proof. As soon as someone edits it outside EthoVision XT, that is detected and it is logged that the file has been tampered with.
