If you'd like a picture I might be able to get one...

This is the indicator that you are using the datalog. It will fill in more of
the circle as you use more of the datalog.

It's a very useful debugging aid, as you can tell programs to save values in the
datalog, and then download them onto a PC to examine what the values are.

In your program use the "CreateDatalog" and "AddToDatalog" APIs. With BricXCC
you can examine the values, and clear the datalog if you like.

The one thing I wish you could do that you can't is to access the datalog from
within a program.

Hope that helps!
