1 How to collect screen dump, SPAF, full Eventlog and all HCU/HPS/Cyl.
events at once
If newer software versions are installed it is possible to collect the data SPAF, Eventlog and all HCU/HPS
events with only a few steps.
If this functionality is available the lowest button to the right will look like the picture below to the right.
If it is not available the button will look like the left picture.
To collect the mentioned data please follow below steps:
1. Go to the screen of which you need a screen dump (if needed)
2. Press the button “System Options”
3. Insert USB flash drive to MOP-B
4. Press “Save” (it might take a while for the MOP to collect and store the data)
The MOP will now create and save a zip-file to the USB containing all the data, which can be sent to MDT
for evaluation.

2 How to Export a SPAF file from MOP
There is two different ways to export the SPAF file. The procedure which needs to be followed
depends on the current ECS version on the MOP, where the newest version includes an “Export
SPAF” button, older ECS versions do not have this button and the manually procedure of taking a
SPAF should be followed.
2.1 Export SPAF with “Export button”
If the ECS version has an “Export SPAF” button, do as follows:
1. On the MOP, select the „Admin->Version“ tap.
2. Insert a USB flash drive into the MOP. Press the „Export SPAF“ button and after that “Save”.
3. The SPAF file is now saved on the USB flash drive (it may take some minutes to save).

3 How to export Event Log from MOP
The event log can be used for viewing the history of events (alarms) and if exported it is a useful
tool for remote troubleshooting.
The Event Log can be found on either of the MOP’s choosing Alarms → Event Log.
To export the Event Log you will first have to choose which events you want to export. If you
want to export all Events in the log please continue to step 4 without using a filter.
1. Press “Time Span Filter”

4 How to export HCU/HPS/Cyl. Events
There is two ways to make a HCU Event. Either it is logged automatically triggered by an alarm or you can
log it manually on MOP-B, which is the only MOP where HCU Events is accessible.
In the following the example will be showed as HCU events, as collecting HCU Events, HPS Events
and Cyl. Events is the same procedure. Just choose the
To find the HCU Events, use MOP-B and select:
1. “Troubleshooting”
2. “HCU Events”.

5 Collecting Line Recorder data from CoCoS-EDS
Only line recorder files which include the specific failure are needed. Therefore, please carefully
select the data following the below guide and send it to MDT for analysis.
There are two ways to collect the data:
1. To save the line recorder immediately after an alarm occurred (starting from item 1).
2. To pick the line recorder files saved automatically, including the event you want to be
analyzed (starting from item 6).
1. Run the tests and engine maneuverings which should be analyzed (a test could just be an
event that you want to save for analysis after it happened).
2. Go to the window LINE RECORDER.
This can be done by pressing the button:
You can also go to the menu ‘MONITORING’ and then chose
‘LINE RECORDER’.
or simply by pressing SHIFT + F8.
3. In this view go to the menu and press ‘SYSTEM’ and

6. Find the line recorder file you want to send and copy it to a USB stick.
The path to the file is:
C:\users\public\man\cocos\eds\”hull number”\linerec\
Chose the file with the date and time you want to send. However, notice that the file is saved
with a UTC time stamp and the time shown in CoCoS is the computer’s local time.
To check that the linerecorder file contain the requested data. Please choose a file in the CoCoS
Linerecorder database and press “Show”.
If the file contains the requested data open the linerecorder database again. Then write a
comment and press “Add”. In that way the stamp of “Date modified” on the file will change,
which will make it easy to pick the correct file.

7 Export SCSU Scope records
The SCSU Scope program is not a requirement for Dual Fuel engines but it is a very helpful tool to monitor
and troubleshoot on the Gas system.
Remember that SCSU Scope has to be opened for each cylinder and should be ARMED to record any
unexpected failures.
1. On the PC, select the Cylinder which caused the Gas Stop. If in doubt do the same with all of them.
2. Insert a USB flash drive into the PC. Press the „Save“ button and then locate the destination you will
store the record.
