Accessing the Log File

4.5 Accessing the Log File

FIRSTVISION maintains a log of the most recent 1,000 events from attached devices. Each log entry contains an event number, a time and date stamp, information identifying the device involved, and the state of the device during the event. How you access the log file depends on your connection to

FIRSTVISION.

With FIRSTVISION and your PC connected over a TCP/IP network, you can browse across the network to C:/Facilities Monitoring/FIT/Event-log.txt on the FIRSTVISION machine.

You can also use a USB connector, located inside the locking door, on FIRSTVISION as the connection point. To access the log file by using FIRSTVISION like a personal computer:

Step 1. Connect a USB mouse and keyboard. Refer to “What To Connect and How To Make the Connections” on page 15.

Step 2. Hold down the Ctrl key, and press the Esc key to open the Windows Start Menu.

Step 3. Use Window Explorer to browse to the file C:/Facilities Monitoring/FIT/Event-log.txt.
