Event Data
The instrument not only saves trend files which include logged data at
scheduled times, but also saves the 124 most recent alarm events and the
124 most recent trouble events. When an instrument is downloaded, the
GX-2012 Data Logger Management Program will retrieve these events
from that instrument and save them in alarm event files and trouble event
files for each instrument that is downloaded.
Alarm event files save the time, instrument channel, and alarm type of
every gas alarm event that occurs on a particular instrument. Warning (low
alarm), Alarm (high alarm), STEL, TWA, and overscale events are saved.
Trouble event files note the time, whether the event is an instrument
system failure or sensor failure and the specific type of failure. Dead
battery alarms and sensor failures are among the trouble events that are
saved.
To view, print, or export the event data for any instrument in the database:
1. With the program already launched, click the Data control button along
the right side of the program window. The Data Window will appear.
2. If necessary, double-click the GX-2012 or Gas Tracer icon in the top of
