AUDITVIEW USER INSTRUCTIONS

The AuditGard AuditView software allows the Master or Manager to view, save, and print the audit records. The AuditGard lock maintains the last 512 lock events in non-volatile memory. Accessing the audit records requires either a Serial (P/N 42150) or USB
(P/N 707010) Interface adapter and an audit cable. There are two types of audit cables used with AuditGard (P/N 42145 or P/N 43087) depending upon which Entry Device is used.

The virtual COM Port assigned to the USB port where the Adapter is currently installed will follow the device description (Figure 3).

Select Data
The AuditView software can filter the audit data allowing the User to select only the specific data events needs. The record can be filtered by the following: Date, Event, User, or any combination of the three.
To select the data use either of the two “selection” boxes above the audit listing. The selection box on the left allows you to select audit data by a specific event type. The selection box on the right allows you to select audit data for a specific user. Click on the respective drop down arrows for the available selections (Figure 10). Once a selection is made, a revised audit list is displayed.

To limit the data by date range, click the Date Search button (Figure 11). A calendar will open in a separate window. Place the curser in the Start or End Date box and select the date using the calendar. Click OK when date range has been selected (Figure 12).

The columns Date, Event and User in the Main Screen can also be used to enable the filters. Select a row that contains your filter criteria (i.e. Lock Opened), and then right click on the field that contains the criteria. The Column will switch to red, indicating an active filter (Figure 13). Only the events that meet the filter criteria will be displayed. You can add multiple filters, using same the method.

To reset filter(s), click on Reset Filter button (Figure 14).

AuditView Audit Adjust
The Audit Adjust is a tool used to compensate for the time loss after a Real- Time Clock (RTC) initialization, indicating a loss of power to the lock of 15 minutes or more. In the event that the RTC is initialized, the Status field will display [ ? ] instead of [OK]. This tool allows the User to adjust the records by inputting a “known” audit event date and time. The Status field will display [Adj.].

Using LGView to adjust the time stamp:
Click left on the event you need to adjust. Click right on “?” (Figure 15).

Adjust the date and time using the up/down (!⁄) and side-to-side ( 1 ¡ ) arrows (Figure 16).

Or click on the drop down to open the calendar (Figure 17).

Choose date for the event in the calendar.

Status column will display [Adj.] and all other events in that sequence will be changed automatically according the adjustment (sequence means: all events between two RTC initializations).
NOTE : Each RTC initialization must be adjusted individually.
