Event Recording
An event log retains history of system events in nonvolatile memory. Fifty event records are retained and
each record contains a time stamp of the first and last event occurrence, and the number of occurrences
for each event. In addition, each record contains details of the time, date, and engine hours for the most
recent 30 occurrences of the event. The number of occurrences stops incrementing at 99. If an event
occurs which is of a type that differs from those in the 50 records in memory, the record that has the
oldest “last” event occurrence is removed from the log, and the new category takes its place. Since 50
event records with up to 99 occurrences each are retained in memory, a history of nearly 5,000 specific
events are retained by the DGC-2020ES. Detailed occurrence information is retained for the most recent
30 occurrences of each event record, and there are 50 event records. Thus the time, date, and engine
hours details for up to 1,500 specific event occurrences are retained in the event log.
Event Log
An event log can be downloaded into BESTCOMSPlus
® for viewing and storage. The Options button is
used to save the entire event log to a file, or to save the list to the computer clipboard making it available
for insertion into other software applications. It is possible to copy a portion of the log to the computer
clipboard by selecting the desired portion with the mouse then using the Options->Copy Selection feature.
The Download button refreshes the event log list by performing a fresh download of the list from the DGC-
2020ES. The Clear button gives the user the option of clearing selected or all event logs. Refer to Figure
45.
