3.1.6.2 Fault Records
When a fault is detected by AutoMonitor, a fault notification message will be displayed. Once a
fault notification message is triggered, the user will need to acknowledge it by pressing any button
from the front panel. The detected faults will be recorded by the AutoMonitor, which can be later
downloaded to the PC. If a driver card or a workshop card is inserted, a copy of the faults related
to the smartcard will be recorded onto the smartcard.
