Event capture

The event capture setting allows you to turn on
and off the event captures and also allows you to
delete event capture (.rec) files. An event capture
is a log of communication, input, and screen output
that occurs between the 375 Field Communicator
and a device.
1. Activate event capture in the settings menu by
tapping the desired radio button. The radio
button will be highlighted white when selected.
To delete an event capture tap the DELETE
EVENT FILE button.
With event capture enabled, starting the HART
application will activate an event capture dialog
box for you to enter a file name. Enter the name
and tap OK. The file will be saved to a default
location.
NOTE
While event capture is enabled, device warning
messages will not appear.
Event captures are helpful in troubleshooting.
1. Create an event capture.
2. Transfer the event capture to a PC with the
Programming Utility; see Programming Utility

personnel who will then be able to view the
specific communication.
