All events that produce displayed errors place those errors into the
error log (this does not include power-on errors, or operator error
messages such as an out of paper message). The error log can be
printed by entering Extended Self-test and selecting the ErrorLog
key as explained in Chapter 4. The printed error log includes four-
fields for each logged error (see Figure 6-l):
The error code. Useful in diagnosing what is
happening in the cardiograph. Frequent errors of the
same type are indications of a problem, especially if
they are logged close together in time.
The date the error occurred (as set on the
cardiograph).
The time the error occurred (as set on the
cardiograph).
This field is reserved for factory use. It may help
factory personnel assist on very diflicult problems.
The error log lists the 100 most recent events.
The stored error log is cleared each time the software is reloaded,
whether from the System disk that comes with the cardiograph, or
from a user's configuration disk.
If you are troubleshooting a problem, you should print the error
log before you reload the software. This can assist in determining
the cause of the failure. If the failure disappears after reloading the
software, the loaded software may have been corrupt. If the failure
continues after reloading the software and produces the same error
code, a hardware problem is likely.
