Archive Log
On A-Series, C-Series, and T-Series Impact cameras, the System Log is stored on the camera. If the camera
loses power for an extended period of time, existing system log events are lost unless you save them to a text
file. On M-Series Processors, the system log is written to a disk file when the system is closed by using Win-
dows shutdown or when the camera driver exits. When the system is restarted, the system log is initialized
from the saved file.
To Save System Log Events:
1. To save System Log Events to the default file displayed in the File field, click Archive Log. An exist-
ing file with the same name can be overwritten.
2. To save System Log Events to a different file and folder, click Browse, navigate to the desired folder,
enter a new file name, then click Open. IMPORTANT: File names are case sensitive.
3. Click Archive Log.

failures, and other types of system events and failures. See “Troubleshooting” on page 6-43 for more details
about system errors.
