DAYLOG is one of the main logging tools (see more in the LOGGING help). If this tool is used, loggings and bookmarks (= UNIDs, interesting spots to be studied later) are saved in a text file called DAY.LOG. Each DAY.LOG is saved in the same day folder where the actual recordings are saved. JAGUAR also takes backups of DAY.LOG before changes.
The DAY.LOG contents can be shown on every graphics display (except CONDX) as a text overlay on the left edge of the display. The contents can be scrolled up/down, you can quickly jump to any frequency/timespot listed in DAY.LOG, and you can also use a handy small editor to change the data for any DAY.LOG row.
You can add a row to DAYLOG with four different ways:
Logging a station via LOGBOX (more details in the LOGBOX help)
Logging a station via DAYLOGGER (more details in the STATION MENU help)
Adding a bookmark by clicking TOOLBAR > DAYLOG ("UNID" label is added automatically) or you can just use the easiest and fastest way:
Type +xxxx and press ENTER (replace xxxx with the text you want to add, for example, the call sign, slogan you heard, etc.)
You can show the DAY.LOG contents by activating "DAYLOG" mode from the TEXTLIST button on the SLIDER. By default the setting is OFF, but you can rotate the list modes (OFF > DAYLOG > MWLI > VOYAGER) by clicking the TEXTLIST button or scrolling with mouse wheel or left/right arrow keys.
If you have activated the DAYLOG text overlay display, you can scroll it up/down with the mouse wheel when the mouse cursor is over the DAYLOG area.
If you move the mouse over HH'MM'SS, you'll see < JUMP > text and you can jump to that frequency/time by a left click.
If you move the mouse over the frequency, you'll see < EDIT > text and you can trigger the DAYLOG editor by a left click.
The DAYLOG editor allows you to change the text and/or time (but not the frequency!) and save the changes by clicking SAVE. Alternatively, you can delete the row from DAYLOG by clicking DEL.
You can also edit DAY.LOG files (located in the recording folders) directly with Notepad or any raw text editor, but you must keep the column positions unchanged.
