Event Log Archive/eMail
The Element event log is stored on a micro SD card on the SCE-CPU board. When log capacity
is reached, the oldest event will be deleted as a new event is recorded. See also
USB Archive
You can copy the event log from the SD card to a USB drive.
1. Insert a USB drive on the SCE-CPU board.
2. Open the UTILS screen; select File Transfer.
3. Scroll to the lower screen; press Export Events to USB Drive.
4. Press OK to confirm or Exit to abort.
5. Place the USB drive in a USB port on your PC (or an attached adapter).
6. If you have Microsoft Excel or a similar program, open it and import the log file from the
USB drive. It will open in table format and may be saved as an Excel file.
7. If you do not have Excel or a similar program, you can open the log file in any word pro-
cessing or “text” application and save it as simple text or as a .csv (comma separated val-
ues) file.
Ethernet Archive
If the Element control is connected to Ethernet:
1. Open your web browser.
2. Enter the Element IP address into the URL entry window and press Return.
3. When contact is established, select the Faults tab. After a few moments, current events
will appear followed by the Event Log.
4. Depending upon applications available on your PC:
• Right click on the screen and select “Select All.”
• Right click on the highlighted text and select “Copy.”
• Open an application like Microsoft Word or Simple Text on your PC.
• Select Paste. (A landscape page layout is best if you are in a word processing applica-
tion.)
• Save the file.
When you initially right-clicked on the screen, you may have seen other options such as
Save to PDF, or Export to Excel. Additional options like these will vary depending on what
applications are installed on your PC. These additional options are also available to you as
a way to capture and save event log files.
Once the log file is on your PC, you can easily attach it to an email and send it to any recipient
for troubleshooting help or central archiving.
