Open Backup Log(s)

The DLS Software will automatically create a backup file of the System Log

after 2400 events have been recorded. To review these files you must first

select ‘Open System Log’ from the Log menu. The present System Log will be

opened. Then select ‘Open Backup Log(s)...’ from the Log menu and select

a backup log to be reviewed. When the System Log is backed up, it is

renamed using the following format, YYMMDD: 2 digits for the year, month and

day. This new name for the backed up System Log serves as a means of

identifying the date that the System Log was backed up. If more than one

backup of the System Log is done in the same day, the name will be the same

using the format described above but the extension of the file will be

incremented by one for each backed System Log that is generated for that

day.

Note that if the DLS-2 is not able to back up the System Log, the event “Log Backup

Unsuccessful” will be logged. If this event is logged, there is a 100 event grace

period to correct any problem that is present that may be preventing the System

Log from being backed up. If the problem is not corrected then the event “Log

Grace Period Exceeded. Event Logging Terminated.” will be the last event logged

and no further event logging will occur until the system log is backed up manually.
