Configuring the Event Log Full Condition. Use the Printing/Event Log submenu of the Configure menu to configure the instrument to either stop logging events or to overwrite events when the event log has filled up to the 10,000 entry level.

Viewing and Printing the Event Log. You can view the Event Log using the Status menu or using the Remote Web Interface. In the Status menu, use the Configure View Filter soft key to show only the events you want to view.

NOTE. The Log Filter menu settings only affect how you view the log entries using the Status display. These settings do not affect the actual contents of the Event Log, nor do they affect the Event Log display when you use the Remote Web Interface to view the Event Log.

The contents of the Event Log cannot be recovered after the log has been erased.

The Event Log uses icons to indicate the type and duration of detected signal conditions. Table 3-4 shows the icons you may encounter as they appear on-screen and in the Event Log file downloaded using the Remote Web Interface.
