Downloading Log Files
The
Log
tab shows the last 20 trigger events. An event occurs any time there is a change to any of
the GPIOs that are currently enabled. It is logged when a GPIO goes high and also logged when it
returns to low. Each log entry is time-stamped with the date and time. The first two characters in
each log entry are a hexadecimal representation of the state of the GPIOs. GPIO 1 is the least
significant bit and GPIO 8 is the most significant bit. The GPI-100 log is much larger than can be
displayed on the DashBoard interface, so there is an option to download the log entries to a text
file on your PC. The logfile can be viewed in most text editors.
