Setting System Parameters

When communication is disabled or communication with all controllers
has failed, the indicator shown in Figure 4-15 appears on the bottom
right-hand portion of the screen. This indicates that AnaWin is not
communicating with the controller(s).

Communication Disabled Indicator

When AnaWin is set up to communicate with multiple controllers, and
some controllers are not communicating, the indicator displays
“INCOMPLETE COMM”.

Com Diags

Select Com Diags to display the Communication Diagnostics screen,
shown in Figure 4-16. This screen displays the cumulative
communications errors encountered within the specified time limit. Use
the Evaluation Time Window field to set the time limit.

Configure

Select Configure to leave AnaWin and launch the Configure program.
Refer to the Chapter 1 for details about using the Configure program.

Snapshot

Select Snapshot to save or restore a snapshot of a selected controller’s
settings. A snapshot is a backup of the controller’s data table. When
snapshot save is selected, the entire data table is read and stored on the
computer’s hard disk. Restoring a snapshot puts a controller back to a
previously saved state which is especially useful after a controller
firmware update or when a controller is replaced.
