Saving the Event Browser to a File
You can save the displayed Event Browser entries to a file. Filtering affects the save
operation, because only displayed events are saved. To save the Event Browser to a
file, do the following:
1. Filter and sort the Event Browser to obtain the desired display.
2. Open the File menu and select Save As.
3. Select a folder and enter a file name in which to save the event log and click the
Save button. The file can be saved in XML, CSV, or text format. XML files can be
opened with an internet browser or text editor. CSV files can be opened with
most spreadsheet applications.
