Overview

MXM EventLog is designed to trace messages and events for a reporting system. It provides functions to store, sort, export and print events listed by date and time.

A classic application of EventLog MXM is a tracer file in show controller to report all defaults and alarms which occured during the show.

EventLog MXM provides a set of functions to manage events.

All traced events are stored in the current log file which is part of the log database of events. The events storage file could be changed automatically every period which could be defined as every: Day, Week, Month or Year.

Two lists of events are available. The first one display current events (real time incomming events) whereas the second is used to manipulate events. Events manipulations could be sort events, print events, export events etc…

The length of an event message in the EventList or in the SelectedEventList is limited to 252 chars plus the header of the message (date, time and time). However, the full message length is stored in the database file.

MxM Installation

No special installation required.
