The BaseStation 3200 irrigation controller tracks all actions such as programming changes, water times, moisture levels, and other internal actions that occur on the controller. These actions are recorded in an event file on the controller. Event files are useful in determining what happened in the past to help troubleshoot and clarify behavior that is not understood.
Below is an explanation of the abbreviations used for the event files.
