Troubleshooting: Reviewing error/event logs
Reviewing error/event 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
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/event logs
Some of the information recorded in the error logs is useful for field
troubleshooting. The details included here serve as an introduction to the
error logs and provide basic information about what you can learn from
them.
1. Access REVIEW ERRORS starting from the MAIN menu. Select
MORE MENUS -> MONITOR SETUP -> SERVICE MODE .
2. Enter password using the TRIM KNOB control to select the day and
month from monitor screen with leading zeros (e.g., July 4 = 0407).
3. Select REVIEW ERRORS .
The menu provides six error log choices, three for viewing error logs and
three for clearing the error logs. It also provides two event log choices,
one for viewing and one for clearing.
Error logs
1. Select VIEW SCOPE ERRORS to view one error in the log of errors.
2. The error log in a monitor holds 100 errors that can be accessed with
the NEXT or PREVIOUS command. The errors display 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 prints out
at the central station determined by the monitor’s graph destination
menu.
The VIEW TRAM ERRORS option provides a list of errors from the
Tram module. It appears very similar to the monitor’s listing.
The VIEW INTERFACE ERRORS option provides a list of errors
from the Unity Network ID connectivity device. It appears very
similar to the monitor’s listing.
3. 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.
