Matrix: What type of diagnostic error messages does the Matrix +3 PGM-WIN event log display?
Question: If I open the PGM-WIN event log in the diagnostics menu what type of messages will be displayed in the event log screen?
Answer: The Matrix Plus 3 constantly records a variety of system events. These events not only include system fault conditions but also information about changes in system status. When these events occur, they are time stamped and recorded in the non-volatile memory of the CONFIG-1Card. As many as 10,000 events are stored before the older events will be discarded. When the Event Log dialog is opened, a copy of all events recorded in the CONFIG-1 Configuration Card will be retrieved. Events are separated into the following categories:
• Alarm Events—reports any event involving the system alarm such as power-supply failures.
• System Clock Events—reports changes in the status of the primary or secondary system clocks.
• Thermal Events—reports changes in temperature within the frame.
• Equipment Change Events—changes in the connect status of interfaces, matrix cards, and stations.
• Firmware Version Events—reports about firmware version compatibility.
• Operator Events—reports events involving user selector presses.
The Event Log chronologically lists the type and description of each system event along with the date and time that it occurred. If an event occurs while the Event Log page is active, it will appear at the bottom of the list. Not all event categories are displayed. To select/deselect a category from view, right click on the event log and click the appropriate menu item.
These following buttons are available on the Event Log screen:
• Update Clock—This button enables resetting the system’s chronometer. The chronometer will be reset in accordance with the
PC’s clock; if the PC clock requires resetting, see the DOS or Windows manual.
• Print Log—The [Print Log] button will save the log to the file “eventlog.prn” in the PGM-WIN folder.
• Clear Log—The log will keep a permanent record of every system fault error that occurs up to a maximum of 10,000 events. Hitting the [Clear Log] button will erase the log.
