System Event Log menu
The System Event Log menu opens a screen that contains two tabs: The System Events tab and the
Settings tab.
The System Events tab view shows event log entries in a spreadsheet view. Select a line in the sheet
to open a dialog box that contains more detailed information about the event. The event log entries
can be one of the following types:
•
Error: An error occurred. This may indicate that a command was sent incorrectly.
•
Warning: This message indicates that a change occurred that could affect operation.
•
Information: The message is for information only. This is used to indicate status changes or
information that may be helpful to the user. It also includes commands if the Log Command
option is on.
The Settings tab contains settings that affect what data displays on the System Events tab. The
following table describes these settings.
