Notes:
• The MPC dedicates a fixed amount of internal memory for Audit Log records,
and if log records are allowed to accumulate until this memory is filled,
memory will eventually "wrap around," and older records will be overwritten
by newer records.

Interface, click on the "Logs" link on the left hand side of the screen. When
the Logs menu appears, right click the link for the Audit Log or Alarm Log,
select "Save Target As", select text format, and save the document with a ".txt"
filename extension.
• Note that once records have been erased, they cannot be recovered.
