E.2.4 Capturing the Event Log
You can also capture a SM’s entire event log, which saves it to a file on
your hard drive. This is useful if you want to print the log or attach it to
an e-mail message.
The steps below use HyperTerminal as the terminal emulator software.
If you use a different terminal emulator, your procedure may be
different.

1.
With HyperTerminal up and running as your RS-232 interface
terminal, press <Ctrl>-<E> until the event log displays.
2.
From the Transfer menu in HyperTerminal, select
Capture Text
.
The Capture Text window displays.
3.
Enter the path and file name you want to use to store the log file
contents. Save the file with a.txt file extension.
4.
Click
Start
. Then press <P> on the keyboard to begin the transfer.
5.
From the Transfer menu in HyperTerminal, select
Capture Text
,
then select
