3.13 Display and Re-Print Event Log
This is a means of examining the most recent past history of events on the system, up to the maximum
recording depth of 600 events (once this capacity is reached, as new events are entered the earliest
events are discarded). The format of display is the same as that which appears under the MUTE
INTERNAL SOUNDER operation, but events prior to the last RESET may now also be reviewed; in
addition non-alarm events (such as previous key operations) are included.
Press pushbutton ‘2’. The display shows:
LOG/DISPLAY: 0=Devices/1=Events
The option required here is ‘1’ for ‘Events’. Use the up and down-arrows to scroll through the events
in sequence; press CANCEL to exit from this operation.
If you want to review events at or around a specific date and time, and provided such events have not
been ‘lost’ by being over-written by more recent events, press ENTER while reviewing the events.
The panel now displays:
DATE & TIME from which to review?
Wed 16-Aug-95 12:30:00 (use
¯
)
where the date and time field initially show the time ‘now’ (
not the time of the most recent event). The
‘date’ field will be flashing. Press
¯
repeatedly to step back a day at a time,
to step forward. You
cannot select a date later than ‘today’ nor earlier than the oldest event still recorded in the log (as the
log becomes filled the oldest events are over-written). Then press ENTER whereupon the ‘time’ field
will flash. Use the
¯
and
arrows in the same way to step back and forward an hour at a time (times
will be rounded to the nearest hour). When you press ENTER again, the first event which occurred
after the selected time and date will be shown, and you can continue to step up and down through
events as before.
The above-described process of selecting a date and time from which to review events, can be
repeated as many times as you like.
If a printer is installed all events are printed out at time of occurrence. However, it is possible to obtain
a repeat printout of a selection of all recorded events (up to the maximum of 600) spanning any time
period. To do this, follow the above procedure until you have located the
first event that you want to
re-print, and it is on display in ‘sliding’ format. Now press ENTER and you will get the question ‘DATE
& TIME from which to review?’ as described above.
Press ENTER twice
without changing the date or time, then the ‘sliding’ display of the event you had
selected will re-appear along with the following prompt:
RE-PRINT Log from this point (Y/N)?
If you answer YES you will now be asked:
RE-PRINT Log up to when?
Wed 16-Aug-95 12:30:00 (use
¯
)
You should select a date and time
after the last event you want re-printed, using the same method as
described above. If you press ENTER twice without changing anything, re-printing is carried out all
the way up to the present time.
Note: When any portion of the event history is re-printed, the original sequence numbers of the re-
printed events are also reproduced. This enables you to determine, on inspecting the printout,
where the re-printed data ends and ‘live’ event logging re-commences.
