The detector saves the calibration information. The date and time of the calibration
appear in the Wavelength Calibration area of the Calibration page (see
page 49).
Detector errors and major detector events, such as power-on self-tests (POSTs), are logged to
a dedicated area in the memory of the detector. These messages are created as part of the
normal operation of the detector and can be helpful when you are attempting to troubleshoot
communications problems.
The log can hold up to 100 events. When the log is full, the newest entry replaces the oldest
entry. To keep a continuous record for your maintenance files, print out the log and clear it
periodically. The memory is protected by battery backup when the detector is turned off.
View, print, and clear the log weekly as part of your regular maintenance routine.
For a list of error messages that can appear in the event log along with suggested solutions, see
"Log Entries" on page 100.
