Section 7-6
Automatic Error Log
The Vivid™ 4 automatically logs the software activity, sequences and error messages that occur during
normal operation. Each day’s activity is compressed into a single daily logger report, with a time stamp
appearing in each line of the report. Additional user comments and screen captures, can also be
included in the report. Each day’s report is saved in the system for 90 days, during which time they can
be recalled and saved to disk.
