Reviewing Error
Logs This procedure describes how to review the error logs of a monitor or
Tram module. The error logs may also be transferred over the network to
a central station and copied onto diskette for further review or sent to GE
Medical Systems Information Technologies personnel for review. The
transferring procedure “Copying Error Log Files” is described later in
this chapter.
WARNING
This procedure is intended for use by service personnel
with advanced troubleshooting skills.
Accessing Error Logs
Some of the information recorded in the error logs is useful for field
troubleshooting. The details included here will serve as an introduction
to the error logs and provide basic information about what you can learn
from them.
At the monitor, execute the following menu sequence, starting from the
MAIN menu:
MONITOR SETUP
SERVICE MODE
Password
Enter day and month from monitor screen with leading zeros.
(July 4 = 0407)
REVIEW ERRORS
The menu provides four choices, two for viewing error logs and two for
clearing the error logs.
Select the VIEW SCOPE ERRORS option to view one error in the log of
errors.
The error log in a monitor holds 50 errors that can be accessed with the
NEXT or PREVIOUS command. The errors are displayed one error at a
time in the upper right corner of the screen. Watch the error number
category to keep track of which error you are viewing. If one error code
seems significant, select PRINT. The error code will print out at the
central station determined by the monitor’s graph destination menu.
The VIEW TRAM ERRORS provides a listing of errors from the Tram
module. It appears very similar to the monitor’s listing.
The VIEW INTERFACE ERRORS provides a listing of errors from the
Tram-net Interface adapter and Octanet Connectivity Device. It appears
very similar to the monitor’s listing.
To clear all the errors in the error log, select CLEAR SCOPE ERRORS,
CLEAR TRAM ERRORS, or CLEAR INTERFACE ERRORS menu
option. Be aware that once the clear menu option is executed, all selected
errors in memory are erased.
