2.1.5 Analysis Results: The Results Log

Origin automatically types many analysis and fitting results to the Results Log. Each entry in the Results Log includes a date/time stamp, the window name, a numeric stamp which is the Julian day, the type of analysis performed, and the results.

Accumulating a large number of entries in the Results Log can cause Origin to run slowly. Clearing the Log may help as outlined in the linked FAQ and further down this page.

Clearing the Results Log

Accumulating many entries in the Results Log is one of the things that can cause Origin to run slowly.

  • You can right-click on the Results Log at any time and choose Clear, Clear All or Clear Last Entry.
  • Origin may also prompt you to clear results while working (e.g. when switching Project Explorer folders). If you reply Yes, when prompted to clear the Log, the Clear dialog opens. Use it to selectively or completely clear the Results Log.
