Overview
:
MXM
EventLog is designed to trace messages and events for a
reporting system. It provides functions to store, sort,
export and print events listed by date and time.
A classic application of EventLog MXM is a tracer file in
show controller to report all defaults and alarms which
occured during the show.
EventLog MXM provides a set of functions to manage events.
All traced events are stored in the current log file which
is part of the log database of events. The events storage
file could be changed automatically every period which could
be defined as every : Day, Week, Month or Year.
Two lists of events are available. The first one display
current events (real time incomming events) whereas the
second is used to manipulate events. Events manipulations
could be sort events, print events, export events etc...
The length of an event message in the EventList or in the
SelectedEventList is limited to 252 chars plus the header
of the message (date, time and time). However, the full
message length is stored in the database file.
