RKI Instruments SDM-2009 PC Controlled Configuration - Manual (Page 85)

Logs Window • 80
Trouble event files note the time, instrument channel, whether the event is an
instrument system failure or sensor failure, and the specific type of failure. Calibration
failures, dead battery alarms, and sensor failures are among the trouble events that
are saved.
Even though two types of files are saved, the PC Controller Program does not
distinguish between the two and shows them together and with the same lightning
bolt symbol. To view and perform desired operations with the event files:
1. While in the Logs window, find your instrument by serial number, then click the
expanded view symbol (+) of or double-click the serial number folder to view
the contents.
2. Click the expanded view symbol (+) of or double-click the Event folder to view
the contents. Event data folders are arranged by year/month.
3. Click the year/month folder you wish to view. All event data files for that
instrument in that particular year/month will appear in the upper right frame.
The file number, serial number, station ID, user ID, model, date/time, channel
number, sensor, and event type appear in the same line.
