Logs, Buffers, and About Phon

These secondary windows provide application diagnostics and generated output.

Application Logs

Buffers

Phon opens the shared Buffers window when a script, acoustic listing, media report, text file, or other operation sends output to a named buffer. Switch named buffers from the selector or Buffer menu. Depending on its content, view a buffer as text, a parsed table, or HTML.

The Buffer menu can save the current buffer, save all buffers, print supported content, and close the current or all buffers. A producer may add other export actions, such as spreadsheet export, to its buffer.

About Phon

Select Help > About Phon for application version and license information. The Help menu also links to the online manual and application license.
