Events allow you to view information tracked by the ECMs which is
typically used for warranty verification information and for reviewing
how the equipment has been operated.
An example of an event tracked for an engine is Engine Overspeed.
During normal operation of an engine, this event may occur a few
times. However, a high number of occurrences of this type of an
event may indicate user operation problems.
Clearing any event codes logged by the onboard electronics may
require proper password authorization.

recent ECM hour of last occurrence. The ECM names appear as
subtitles in the list. If there is more than one ECM connected, the
subtitles are arranged alphabetically. On the same line as the ECM
subtitle, the number of ECM diagnostic clock hours is displayed.
These hours represent the time that the ECM has been connected
and running.
The Logged Event Codes screen has five columns: Code,
Description, Occ., First, and Last. The code numbers that appear are
used to identify the events. The Description column informs you of
the symptom that is occurring. The Occ. (occurrences) column
informs you of the number of times that the symptom occurred. The
columns marked First and Last indicate the first and last ECM hour
that the problem occurred.
Note: On some ECMs, a warning category indicator may
immediately follow the code number. It indicates the severity of an
associated event. If the warning category is present, it will be in
parenthesis. It is a number ranging from 1 to 3 (3 being the most
severe). The warning category can give clues to the severity of an
engine applications behavior.

Navigation Shortcuts
Keyboard Shortcuts
Keyboard Shortcuts give you the power to maneuver through
Caterpillar applications solely using the keyboard. The shortcuts
include using Alt, Tab, Shift, Ctrl (Control), Enter, the space bar,
multiple letters and arrow keys (separately and combined with each
other) to accomplish an action.
Alt Key + Letter
Holding down the Alt key and pressing a letter allows you to navigate
drop-down menus. For example, pressing F, while holding down
the Alt key, opens the File Menu. While this menu is open, pressing
the underlined letters in that menu performs the related tasks. In this
case, pressing N would prompt the New File box (see Letters).
Tab Key
The Tab key moves the cursor between option pushbuttons (OK,
Cancel, Print, etc.). A pushbutton that can be activated by
pressing enter is highlighted (marked with black dashes around the
border). Using the Tab and Shift Keys at the same time reverses the
tab order. On different screens, you can use the Tab button to move
from one area to another. This is called tab ability.
Arrow Keys
The arrow keys have many uses. The first function of the keys is to
move between and through the menus after holding down the Alt key
and pressing a letter (see the example given under Alt Key + Letter).
The arrow keys and Enter key can be used instead of pressing the
letter of the corresponding function.
The second use of the arrow keys is similar to that of the Tab key
because the arrows can be used to move between option
pushbuttons. The up and right arrows move the cursor down the
option pushbuttons, and the down and left arrows move the cursor
up the option pushbuttons.
The third function of the arrow keys is to scroll through lists. In some
screens, you must highlight the OK pushbutton with the Tab key
before using the arrows to scroll the list. In others, you must use the
tab key to get into the box with the list before using the arrows.

16
Letters
Not all pushbuttons have tab ability. If you enter a screen where the
Tab key does not highlight a pushbutton, the underlined letter on the
pushbutton can be pressed on the keyboard to perform that function.
For example, the pushbuttons in the Status Screen do not have tab
ability. Therefore, to return to the Groups screen, press G, or, to
Zoom In or Zoom Out, press Z.

desired files.
