When the event log is full, any subsequent event overwrites the oldest entry. Hence, the event log always
contains the most recent events. The module logs the event type, along with the date and time (or engine
running hours if configured to do so).
To view the event log, press and hold either of the
Menu Navigation
buttons to scroll to the Event
Log page.
Press the
Scroll Down
button to view the next most recent event.
Continuing to press the
Scroll Down
button cycles through the past events after which, the
display shows the most recent alarm and the cycle begins again.
To exit the event log and return to viewing the instruments, press and hold either of the
Menu Navigation
buttons to select the next instrumentation page.
