Device Manager Settings

You can customize the error reporting, testing, and winking operations performed by the LonMaker
Device Manager. To customize these setting, click the Settings button on any of the tabs in the Device
Manager. The Device Manager Settings dialog appears.

Set the following options and then click OK to apply any changes.

Options

Stop Test on Error

Stops tests immediately when an error is reported. This option is
cleared by default.

Stop on Full Log

Stops tests immediately when the results log becomes full. You
cannot click the Test command again until you click Clear Log.
This option is cleared by default.

Test Command
Options

Report Node Object
Status with Test
Command

the results log of the Device tab. This command only applies to
devices containing a Node Object functional block. This option is
selected by default.

Run Object Self-Test
with Test Command

Sends a self-test command to the object being tested and displays the
results of the self-test in the Results Log. If cleared, no self-test will be
sent as part of the testing procedure. This option is selected by default.

Report Object Status
on Failure

Reports an object’s status in the Results Log when it fails a
management command. This option is cleared by default.

Simple Device Test

Limits the device test to a simple Query Status command. This
option reduces the amount of network traffic generated by the Test

over low-bandwidth channels such as a power line. This option is
cleared by default.
