Note: When an event is added to the log, the time of the event is also recorded

The events log can store up to 10,000 events, after which it overwrites the oldest
entry, and then the second oldest entry, and so on. When a new event occurs, the
automatic scrolling feature automatically scrolls to the new entry. The CCU
operator can configure the events log to activate/deactivate the automatic
scrolling feature.

To activate automatic scrolling, proceed as follows:

1. Either click the Auto Scroll button in the toolbar (the button appears

selected),

or

Check the Auto Scroll feature in the Viewmenu.

2. The automatic scrolling feature is activated. The events log

automatically scrolls down to a new event entry each time it occurs.

To deactivate automatic scrolling, proceed as follows:

1. Either click the Auto Scroll button in the menu bar (the button appears

deselected),

or

Uncheck the Auto Scroll feature in the View menu.

The automatic scrolling feature is deactivated. The feature is useful if
the CCU operator is reviewing events and does not want the events log to
move automatically to the latest event entry

The CCU Logfile Mechanism

The CCU Logfile Mechanism records to a disk file a copy of the events log that
appears in the main CCU window. This file, called “logfile 000.txt”, is located
in the default CCU directory (C:\Program Files\CCU).

Logfile size is limited to 10 megabytes of disk space. Up to 15 logfiles may be
stored in the CCU directory.
