The detector stores an internal log of the last 200 events, and this can either be viewed on a PC screen or
downloaded to disk by use of the remote control software.
When the event log is full (200 events are stored) and a new event occurs, the oldest event in the log is deleted
(First-In, First-Out).
To download the event log, connect a PC to the detector serial port and run the remote software. Either select
the menu options “View Event log” or click on the event log symbol as indicated below.
The following screen appears;
This shows the time and date of each event stored in the log along with its general description. The buttons at
the bottom of the screen allow control over the input and output of the log.
Open: opens a previously saved event log. Event logs have the file extension “.evl”.
Save As: saves the current event log as a .evl file with a user defined name.
Print: prints the event log to a connected printer.
