4.5 Accessing the Log File
FIRSTVISION maintains a log of the most recent 1,000 events from attached devices. Each log entry
contains an event number, a time and date stamp, information identifying the device involved, and
the state of the device during the event. How you access the log file depends on your connection to
F
IRSTVISION.
With F
IRSTVISION and your PC connected over a TCP/IP network, you can browse across the
network to C:/Facilities Monitoring/FIT/Event-log.txt on the F
IRSTVISION machine.
You can also use a USB connector, located inside the locking door, on F
IRSTVISION as the
connection point. To access the log file by using F
IRSTVISION like a personal computer:
Step 1. Connect a USB mouse and keyboard. Refer to “What To Connect and How To Make the
Connections” on page 15.
Step 2. Hold down the Ctrl key, and press the Esc key to open the Windows Start Menu.
Step 3. Use Window Explorer to browse to the file C:/Facilities Monitoring/FIT/Event-log.txt.
