<h2>Console Overview</h2>
The GEM Console view is simply a dedicated console for viewing the output from ISP itself. This
information will be useful to the advanced user. All this information and more can be graphically
examined from the Analyzer view.
<h3>Understanding Output</h3>
Please reference the <a href="output.html">Understanding GEM Output help page</a>.
<p>
The image below shows what the Console View should look like.

<p>
<b>Note:</b>&nbsp; On the GEM preference page, you can specify whether you want new output to
replace the older or if it should be prepended to the existing terminal output.
</p>
<h3>GEM Console View Options</h3>
This view's toolbar has three buttons:<br><br>
<img height="16" src="images/clear-console.gif" width="16">
Clear Console - Removes all entries from the consoles, leaving it blank.<br>
<img height="16" src="images/save-file.gif" width="16">
Save Output to File - Launches a window that lets you save the current contents as a .txt file anywhere you want.<br>
<img height="16" src="images/help-contents.gif" width="16">
Get GEM Console Help - Opens the Eclipse help topic related to the GEM Console View.
<p>
<b>Note:</b> This same functionality can be obtained through the context and pull-down menus for the view.
