• Precautions

6. MEASUREMENT DISPLAYS

Even if multiple units are installed on the LV 5800, there is only one log file.

When the same event occurs successively and when multiple events occur at the
same time, they are treated as a single event.

When multiple events occur at the same time, you may not be able to check all of the
events on the screen. When this happens, you can view all of the events by saving
them to USB memory.

The event display is cleared when you initialize the system settings or turn the power
on and off.

Switching video formats or input channels may cause disturbances in the signal that
will cause errors to be displayed.
