3.5.1 Testcopy DB
Description of the functions
The recording of the message traffic on the CPU is made possible by the TestCopyData data
block. With the aid of the FC Testcopy function, you can filter out certain message types that
can be copied from the send or receive buffer of the CPU for further evaluation in a
TestCopyData data block. The default for the TestCopyData data block is DB99.
When setting the the data block, in the control field of the TestCopyData DB, you set filters
for certain message types, subscribers and objects and make further settings. All send and
receive messages are stored in the TestCopyData DB in chronological order. For a detailed
description of the functions and setting up the TestCopyData DB, refer to the chapter
SINAUT TD7 software package of the SINAUT ST7 system manual.
With the aid of the
Testcopy DB function of the SINAUT Diagnostics and Service tool, a
TestCopyData data block is opened and the recorded messages displayed as a message list
for further analysis.
