Logging LAN trigger events in the event log
You can use the event log to record all LXI triggers generated and received by the Series 3700A, and
you can view the event log using any command interface or the embedded web interface. The
following figure shows the view of the LXI event log from the embedded web interface.
Figure 157: Series 3700A LXI event log
The timestamp, event identifier, IP address, and the domain name identify the incoming and outgoing
LXI trigger packets. The following table provides detailed descriptions for the columns in the
event log.

]
that
generates an event
LAN0 = lan.trigger[1]
LAN1 = lan.trigger[2]
LAN2 = lan.trigger[3]
LAN3 = lan.trigger[4]
LAN4 = lan.trigger[5]
LAN5 = lan.trigger[6]
LAN6 = lan.trigger[7]
LAN7 = lan.trigger[8]
From
Displays the IP address for the device that
generates the LAN trigger

Timestamp
A timestamp that identifies the time the event
occurred; the timestamp uses the following:
▪
PTP timestamp
▪
Seconds
▪
Fractional seconds
