StripChart, Data TimeStamp greater than
System Time'
The datalogger and/or computer clock should
be checked.
If the RTM and DBSelect selection are correct
and match the data available from the
datalogger, and RTM, DBSelect, or both are
running, then there may be communication
problem between DlsMgr and DBSelect or
RTM. This may be caused by insufficient
computer resources or running to many
programs on the OS/2 computer. See Section
2.2 in the RTMS manual. Try reducing the
demands on the PC or increasing its capability
by adding RAM, etc.
The following message indicating DBSelect or
RTM are not reading data they requested..
'08-18-94 15:11:53','W','PC1','PC1','Client
not reading data (CR10T).'
RTM and DBSelect may also give messages
indicating Bad Sessions or DLS Halted, in which
case the RTMS programs may need to be
completely stopped and restarted.
A.4 DLSMGR MESSAGES AND WHAT
THEY MEAN
Messages from the NetAdmin SWF$.LOG are
described in the following sections. This is not
a list of all possible messages but the common
ones. Other messages can occur. The format
of these messages is TIMESTAMP,TYPE,
FROM,ABOUT,MESSAGE. Where
TIMESTAMP indicates when the message
occurred. TYPE indicates type of message;
STATUS, WARNING, or FAULT. FROM
indicates which station originated the message.
ABOUT indicates which station the messages
are about. MESSAGE is the text of the
message. These actual messages come from
several networks. PC1 is the computer,
CR10T is a datalogger directly connected to
COM1. Stn2 is a datalogger site accessed via
telephone modem on COM1. MD91 is
accessed via MD9. RF2BASE is an RF232T
base station and RF1 is a radio remote
datalogger station. The RF2BASE is connected
to COM1.
'08-18-94 14:58:22','S','PC1','CR10T','Pkt to
'CR10T' rejected, communication is paused.'
The pause slider on the network health screen
has been moved pausing all communication
with network. This message also occurs when
DlsMgr is first started as it pauses the network a
few seconds when starting. This allows time to
start NetAdmin and extend the pause time if it is
important to stop the actual communication
before it starts.
'08-18-94 15:01:37','W','PC1','CR10T',
'Station Number changed from 0000 to
0002 '
When DlsMgr first communicates with a
datalogger it assigns the datalogger a station
number. The datalogger remembers this
number until it is assigned a new one. When a
new number is assigned, the datalogger
generates a warning message. When the
station number changes from 0000 the
datalogger is being communicated with for the
first time since it was powered up. If the
number changes, GT may have been used with
the station or the Net Description involving the
datalogger has been edited.
'08-18-94 15:01:39','W','PC1','CR10T',
'Program not downloaded'
The datalogger is being communicated with but
is indicating that no program (.DLD file) has
been downloaded. If this is not a new station
the datalogger may have lost power.

Indicated polling type collection of a data record
from the datalogger. These messages are
normal and should occur. See Section 7.1 of
the RTMS manual for discussion of polling and
hole collection.
