There are various format options for logging and printing. The print
selections are a set of several parameters that determine the format of
the data to be printed. Similarly, the log selections are a set of several
parameters that determine the format of the data to be logged in an event
file. These parameters are described in the following table.
Start event
logging on
system start-up
Determines whether the BridgeVIEW Engine automatically begins logging
events when the Engine launches.
Days to keep
event files
Determines how many days worth of event files are kept on disk. Anything
older than the number of days specified here is deleted automatically.
Log Delimiter
Determines the separator between parameters on a line. By default, it is the tab
character. This makes event files easy to import into a spreadsheet program.
Spreadsheet programs can handle other delimiters as well.

An array of numerics ranging between
00:00

a new event file is generated and written to.
