9. To disable the output of extended diagnostic messages for an individual level, select the
deactivate selected level option in the TIM Extended Diagnostics dialog and close the
dialog with the
Activate button.
10. To disable the output of all extended diagnostic messages for all firmware components
and all levels of the selected subscriber, select the
deactivate all extended levels option
in the
TIM Extended Diagnostics dialog and close the dialog with the Activate button.
NOTICE
If even one level of the extended diagnostic messages is activated, the size of the TIM
diagnostic buffer is increased from 50 to 200 entries. Due to the increased memory
requirements, extended diagnostic messages should not be activated permanently.
After recording and saving the extended diagnostic messages, deactivate the
Extended
Diagnostics
function again. The simplest method is to a deactivate the function with the
deactivate all extended levels option. When you deactivate extended diagnostics, the
size of the TIM diagnostic buffer is set back from 200 to the basic setting of 50 entries.
3.3.4 TIM Message Monitor
Description of the functions
The TIM Message Monitor function is used to specify the settings for message monitoring of
a selected TIM and starts the monitoring
.
In TIM message monitoring, the messages received and sent by the TIM are recorded. As
soon as the monitoring function is activated, copies of every message are stored in a buffer
created specifically for this function. The messages are read out of the buffer of the TIM and
saved in a monitoring file.
To start to message monitoring, you must set the following:
● the output file in which the recorded messages are saved and
● the stop action for the monitoring, either
– manual for
- continuous sampling (reading out the buffer at 5 second intervals) or
- read data once after stop of monitor,
– fill buffer only once or
– time-limited reading by specifying the elapsed time.
Reading the data once after stopping monitoring is set if the messages are to be monitored
following any intervention, for example turning off the TIM.
If the message buffer of the TIM is read once without any time limitation, the entire saved
SINAUT data traffic of the relevant TIM is read out. With the fixed buffer size of the TIM, this
involves 400 messages.
Monitoring is always started manually in the
TIM Message Monitor dialog. When monitoring
is started, the
TIM Message Monitor progress bar is displayed and the group error LED of
the TIM flashes while monitoring is active.
