Event Logging
Events produced by the various ION modules in the meter are prioritized and
grouped to facilitate custom logging. Each event has a priority group number
assigned to it, based on its type and severity.

ION Event Priority Groups

Some event groups are preset with a Priority Number as shown in the table below.
You can also define your own priority number for some modules. Priority
numbers from 128-191 appear in the global even log viewer in WinPM.Net
software. Priority numbers from 192-255 are logged, initiate a beep and cause the
window to flash. You can customize these responses to display messages or
perform netsend messages, for example.
The Event Log Controller module allows you to set a priority cutoff for event
logging. Any events with a priority number greater than the cutoff value are
logged, and events with lower priorities are discarded. Refer to the individual
module descriptions and the Event Log Controller module description in the
online ION Programmer’s Reference for more details.

External ION Events

Some events are not produced by a specific module; they are generated internally
by the meter. These events and their associated priority levels are as follows:.
