4.4.4 OFFLINE LINK TEST
From the Programmer Window, Select Utilities – Offline Link Test
The Offline Link Test is used to test the link between two units – the local unit connected to the PC and a remote unit.
Blocks of data are transmitted to the remote unit and the remote unit decodes and returns them. The transmitted and
received data blocks are compared and the ratio of the results is calculated. The Offline Link Test requires suspension of
user network operation.
