DirectLogic Protocol Status
The DirectLogic driver object monitors protocol statistics and the data can
be viewed by selecting Options >> DirectSoft Link Status. This menu
selection will only be visible in the Options menu if a DirectLogic driver
object was previously created in your lookout process. Select the correct
object from the list that appears, and then click Select. The Link Info
dialog box appears.
The Link Info dialog box is useful for troubleshooting communication
errors. Each error is time stamped and has an error name and an extended
error description. At anytime you can press the edit button to manually
change a setting on your link or to press Auto then Accept to clear the error
log. The Link Enable box allows you to turn the communications link On
and Off.
