Select the ‘Controller’ link to view the socket and packet statistics. For HostIn packets, there is a

column for the ‘Fail Threshold’ time. If a packet has not arrived within the set amount of time

then a communication failure is assumed. For HostOut packets there is a column for ‘Rate (Hz),’

this is the rate for packets coming in.

Check the ‘Enable Testing’ box to toggle the test mode on and off for testing the host control.

Press the ‘Live Capture’ (green check) to capture the live values coming in from the host.

Select ‘Big Endian’ to change the byte order. The endianness defines the byte order for the data

in a packet.

Select ‘Align Offset’ button to auto-align the selected variables.

Select ‘Clear Testmode’ button to clear the test values.

Select ‘Add

to Connector...’ button to add all selected variables to a connector.

Select an option from the ‘Use Init Value’ drop down list to set when the initial value is used. The

options include never, load, and load/sourcefail. Load/sourcefail retrieves the values upon load

installation unless the host fails and then it returns back to the initial values.

Set the ‘timeout’ value. The timeout value is the amount of time that passes without activity from

the host.
