This screen shows communications related data for one communications port (Serial port in the
SB host PC) and for one MC. The upper part of the screen shows port data, the lower MC data.
The port index is related to the serial port 0..3. It is mostly used by Merrick for telephone support
and for SB internal trouble-shooting. Some entries are useful for general trouble-shooting. They
are listed here:
Line Keyword Explanation
5 Used A 0 indicates the data for the port is allocated, but never used.
5 Last Err Last communication error encountered on this port. See Numerical Error
Values (page 36)
5 FatalErrs How many fatal (non-recoverable) communication errors that have
occurred for this port since SB was started.
5 LastFatErr Last fatal (non-recoverable) communication errors encountered on this
port. See Numerical Error Values (page 36)
6-8 Individual statistics for each possible communication error on the port.
See Numerical Error Values (page 36)
10 ActiveMC There is at least one MC on this port that is active, that is, not Offline or
Not Used.
12 Used A 0 indicates the data for the MC is allocated, but never used. There is
normally no controller at all with this index.
12 State Communication status. The numerical value of “MC Current Status” in
MC Data Screen (page 32)
12 TgmState Used for telephone support. This value rapidly scans through a
seemingly random number of values. See also MC Data Screen (page
32)
13 WatchDog The value of the local MC watchdog timer in 0.1 s. See WatchDog (page
42)
14 IDNum The numerical value of the application model. Displayed if retrieved,
even if the specific application is not supported by SB.
14 VerNum The numerical value of the application version. Displayed if retrieved,
