8 Miscellaneous functions of the SebaDataView-3 software
8.1 Receiving an ‘Event List’
By the help of the Event List function you get information about
• a device's alarm events up to now,
• a device's GSM connection establishments up to now.
These events are listed in a table on the screen.
If measuring data have been sent from the device to a FTP server, the event list is part
of these data and is available right after the download.
For energy saving reasons, the event list is not part of the data transferred to the
computer via radio. In this case, the event list still needs to be retrieved from the logger,
before it can be displayed on the screen.
A maximum of 600 events can be listed. After 600 entries have been reached, the
respective oldest values are overwritten.
The device must be switched on and a connection between the device and the
computer is needed.
For a radio link
• a radio interface must be connected to the computer (e.g. Log RI),
• the device must be within the computer’s wireless range.
Proceed as follows to call the event list of a device:
