The Event Viewer primitive is used to provide the operator with a method to view
the events recorded in the system’s event log. As with the alarm viewer, it is
sometimes placed on a popup page.
The properties of this primitive are essentially the same as those for the alarm viewer. You
are thus referred to the earlier section for more details. The only additional property is Show
Event Type, which is used to indicate whether or not each row should be labeled with the kind
of event that resulted in the log entry. The possible event types are alarm activations, alarm
acceptances, alarm deactivations and event activations.

The File Viewer Primitive is used to display the content of a file saved on the
CompactFlash card.
The primitive can display different files residing under the same folder but only one at a time.
This is particularly handy to visualize Data Log files allowing the user to move from one file
to another for the desired log. Only files with CSV, TXT and LOG extensions are supported.
The properties are accessed by double-clicking the primitive.
• The Font property is used to select the font to be used to draw the primitive. A
fixed-pitch font should ideally be used to ensure that the various data fields
remain in the correct alignment.
• The Line Numbers property defines if the line number should be shown or not in
front of each file line.
