4.3.5 Log (5)
The Event Log screen contains the number of recorded events and the percentage of log memory used. It
also contains the option to erase the event log.
The Event Count line reports the number of events stored to memory. An event is either a detected ping
from a tag, a GPS position fix, or a system action (like a start up, a change to the receiver’s configuration,
etc.). The number of events increases until the memory is full at approximately 85000 events.
The Use line in the Event Log screen shows the percentage of log memory used in the VR100 receiver,
both numerically and graphically. When 100 % of the log memory is full, the memory must be erased
before more events can be logged.
