Accessing The Event Logger

Accessing The FocusLock Event Logger

While using FocusLock, if the program encounters any sort of problem, it will notify you with an error message describing the problem. If this problem is happening consistently and preventing you from using the program the way you need to use it, we highly recommend contacting Optec Technical Support for assistance.

FocusLock has been programmed with the capability to log every major event that occurs during normal program operations, as well as the full details of every error that is capable of occurring.

When preparing to contact Optec for support, having your FocusLock error log at the ready and, if possible, sending that log to Optec can greatly increase our ability to solve your problem quickly and completely.
