D.2.4 Capturing the Event Log

You can also capture a SM’s entire event log, which saves it to a file on your hard drive. This is useful if
you want to print the log or attach it to an e-mail message.

The steps below use HyperTerminal as the terminal emulator software. If you use a different terminal
emulator, your procedure may be different.

To capture the event log file:

1

With HyperTerminal up and running as your RS-232 interface terminal, press CTRL-E until the event log
displays.

2

From the Transfer menu in HyperTerminal, select Capture Text.
The Capture Text window displays.

3

Enter the path and file name you want to use to store the log file contents.
Save the file with a.txt file extension.

4

Click Start.

5

Press P on the keyboard to begin the transfer.
