4.1 Diagnostics
4.1.1 Description of Diagnostic Functions
The configuration GUI can be very useful at setup time. The disadvantage is that
it requires a PC (laptop).
4.1.2 GUI Signal Strength and Packet Error Testing
This screen is used for testing the radio path performance in the field. It shows in
large letters the Current frequency, Signal strength and Packet errors.
Figure 17: GUI - Signal Strength and Channel Testing
Along the bottom there are buttons for interference testing of any frequencies you
have listed in the pool. Always transfer out of this screen and back to configure
before exiting the program!
4.1.3 System Information
Figure 18: GUI - System Information
This screen shows the software and firmware revisions, history of resets, what
type of Add-on card is connected if any, number of devices the Add-on card may
have, and relative time and date. The time and date are not maintained if power
is lost or the system is reset so it should be the last thing set.
