XFp Analyzer Diagnostics
The XFp Diagnostics page contains a variety of functions that assist
Seahorse Technical Support in debugging any issues or errors
encountered during normal operation. The System Check diagnostic
function should be performed upon initial startup of the XFp Analyzer
and upon Seahorse Technical Support request.
To access the Diagnostics page, go to the Home pages then touch
Diagnostics
.
System Files
– Press
Send
to send the system log files if the
XFp Analyzer encounters an error or issue. Seahorse Technical
Support will also request log files as necessary. The XFp
Analyzer
must
be networked in order to automatically send
system files to Seahorse Technical Support.
