Troubleshooting errors

Error and Fault information from the logger

To assist with troubleshooting your application, the DT80 range loggers include a number of error checking and event logging functions. It is useful to obtain the data from the logger to help identify the more subtle problems that may occur. The two log files that are available;

• UERRLOG returns errors (exceptions/assertions).
• UEVTLOG returns contents of event log.

These are best unloaded using the DeTransfer text interface or via the File menu on the browser interface, DeLogger can also be used but the data will be in Fixed Format and difficult for users to interpret.
