When using ROV viewer to look at xdc.runtime.LoggerBuf logs, the timestampRaw column is left justified. This makes it confusing when looking at many records because there are so many digits in the timestamp. For example, at first glance it looks like the timetamp goes backwards in the following view:

9277324327, RcmServer_serverThrFxn__P: waiting for message
9277525615, RcmServer_workerThrFxn__P: job received
9277604687, --> RcmServer_process__P: (obj=0x8704dd80, packet=0x87d03400)
9277629079, RcmServer_process__P: message desc=0x100
9277934992, <-- RcmServer_process__P:
9277958744, RcmServer_workerThrFxn__P: waiting for job
11177293728, RcmServer_serverThrFxn__P: message received
11177314820, --> RcmServer_dispatch__P: (obj=0x8704dd80, packet=0x87d03600)
11177507210, <-- RcmServer_dispatch__P: 0
11177528428, RcmServer_serverThrFxn__P: waiting for message

With the leading digits aligned, it looks like it went from 9 back to 1. With right alignment, it would make it obvious that the leading digit went from 9 to 10.

Also, why is the column called timestampRaw instead of just timestamp? I expect the value to be straight from the log without any postprocessing anyway.

This has been fixed within the rov-h00 stream.  The table views within ROV now have a right click menu item "Display Settings" which allows the user to edit the visibility, alignment and format for each column item.  The visibility option can hide a column from the table view.  The alignment option can align left right or center the column data within the column.  The format option allows the ROV to display number values in Hex, decimal or scientific formats. The settings are saved within the workspace so it is persistent across session restarts.

Resolved in rov-h00

Using XDCtools 3.30.00.17, I was able to right click on the table view in ROV, choose "DisplayFormat", and select the alignment and other properties of each column including timestampRaw.
