Viewing Block Transfer Statistics
Press [B] from the Main menu to view the Block Transfer Statistics screen.
Use this command to display the configuration and statistics of the backplane data
transfer operations between the module and the processor. The information on this
screen can help determine if there are communication problems between the processor
and the module.
Tip: To determine the number of blocks transferred each second, mark the
numbers displayed at a specific time. Then some seconds later activate the
command again. Subtract the previous numbers from the current numbers and
divide by the quantity of seconds passed between the two readings.
