SEL Menu Item – Reload
This option allows you to reload the SEL entries from the server. This operation is similar to the one
performed when the SEL Viewer is rst invoked. The records are displayed either in the hex format
or in the interpreted format, depending on the set display mode. The status box shown in Figure 22
is displayed to indicate that the SEL Viewer is loading SEL records from the server, and the message
shown in Figure 23 is displayed if the SEL is empty.
SEL Menu Item – Properties
This option allows you to view the SEL properties as shown in Figure 26. The text “Warning: System
Event Log is FULL” is displayed if the SEL is full; otherwise, the text is omitted. The “Number of
Entries” and “Free Space Remaining” are displayed as decimal values.

SEL Menu Item – Clear SEL

entries from the main window table. A dialog message prompts you for the conrmation of clearing
the SEL, as shown in Figure 27.

SEL Menu Item – Display In Hex / Display In Text
This option allows you to toggle between the raw hexadecimal mode display and the interpreted
mode display. In hex mode display, all the SEL records are displayed in raw hex format as shown in
Figure 24. In interpreted mode display, all the SEL records are decoded and displayed in text format,
as shown in Figure 21. The menu item name toggles between “Display in hex” and “Display in text”
to allow changing from one display mode to the other. When the display mode is changed, SEL Viewer
automatically loads the SEL entries from the server, and displays it in the new display mode. Display
mode is toggled between text and hex, automatically, when the SEL entries are read from a le,
depending on whether the le contains hex data or text data.
