Question about the new AFCI breaker trip logs

Just read the manual for a Siemens panel and saw they can store the last 10 trip events with timestamps. Found that in the tech specs online. Anyone used that feature on a service call yet?

What specific fault type did it log, like an arc or overload? I'm curious how detailed the codes are in practice.

Honestly thought that was just a sales gimmick until I pulled the logs on a nuisance trip last week. Seeing the exact time and fault type completely changed the troubleshooting process. Makes you wonder why this wasn't standard on all breakers years ago. That data turns a guessing game into a real diagnosis.
