4.6.10.3 Event Log
Event Log allows you to print out a range
of reference numbers to the port
designated for diagnostic use. This can be
used as a troubleshooting tool while
correlating alarm messages from the
receiver to the automation computer.
For example, if the automation computer
indicated a report that you are not familiar
with, you would enter the reference
number for that report in the event log and
the raw data would be output to the
diagnostic port. From the raw data you
could determine what the signal was and
make adjustments to the automation
computer for future signals like that one.
