Sorting the SEL
The SEL can be sorted by clicking on the column header the user wishs to sort by. An arrow to the
right of the column header indicates the sort-by column and whether the column is sorted in
ascending or descending order. An up arrow indicates ascending order, and a down arrow indicates
descending order. Clicking on the currently sorted column reverses the sort order of the column.
Whenever the SEL is sorted, the first segment is displayed.

Save Log Button
This allows the user to save the currently loaded SEL to a file. The user can choose to save the
SEL as the decoded event data or as hexadecimal format. A different file extension is used for each
type. In each case, the SEL properties and the entire log are written to the file. The SEL properties
are saved at the top of the file and are saved as verbose text.
If the save fails because the file cannot be created, this error message is displayed:
Unable to create save file
If an error occurs while writing information to the file, this message is displayed:
Error saving SEL to the file
Open Log Button
This allows the user to load a currently saved log file. The loaded file can be in either decoded or
hexadecimal format. Upon opening a log file, the SEL Viewer is loaded, showing the events from
the file.
If the file to open is not a valid SEL file, this message is displayed:
Invalid SEL file
If there is an error while reading the events from the file, this message is displayed:
Error reading SEL from file
If the user loads a hexadecimal log file, the viewer interprets data as if it was loaded from the
system. The user will have all of the functionality that is available when the data is loaded from the
system, but the Save Log button is disabled when the log is loaded from a file.
Clear SEL Button
This allows the user to clear all the system SEL events. Before proceeding with the clear, the user
is prompted with this message:
Do you really want to clear the SEL?
