The file name identifies the controller model, file type, XCS baselevel id, and XCS version. For
example, the file name hsv210_event_cr08d3_5020.txt provides the following information:

hsv210_

—The EVA controller model number

event_

—The type of information in the file

w010605_

—The base level build string (the file creation date).

01
