7-3-4 Collect a ‘Trouble Image’ with Logs
If the system should malfunction, press the Alt+D keys simultaneously. This will collect a screen capture
of the monitor, system presets and several log files in a date and time stamped “.zip” file.
NOTE: This function may also be used to make a Print Screen (screen dump).
The Alt+D function is available at all times.
When Alt+D is pressed, a menu box appears that allows for;
• a place to enter a description of the issue
• a check box to indicate a System lockup
• a choice to Export to a pre-formatted removable media or save to the Export directory D: drive (for
remote viewing through InSite).
NOTE: You MUST select one of the available devices as the destination device if it is to be different than the
default Export directory on the hard drive.
The screen capture is a bitmap which eliminates the possibility of artifacts from compression.
