The log is the one place in HCA that shows you what powerline commands were sent, what ones were received, and what your programs did. The log shows all this and the time each action happened. You can sort the log on any of the columns to help you find what you are looking for.
There are two log viewers in HCA. One of them is on the Troubleshooter Log on the Log Viewer tab. The other is opened by selecting from the menu, Troubleshooter then Open Log Viewer. This viewer has the nice property that you can leave it on the screen while you do other things and it updates as new entries are made in the log.
So what's the log good for? Simply put, finding out what is working correctly and what is working incorrectly. If you have a questions like, Why did my program not do what I want?, or, Why didn't my light go on?, then the place to start is the Log. See what elements your program executed and see what commands were sent or received.
