OPC Diagnostic Features
The Find Dialog can be used to search for specific text within the diagnostics view. This aids in the debugging of a
particular issue by allowing users to search for key information transferred between the client and server. For example,
all actions on a particular Item ID or group name can easily be found using the search functionality.
Users can specify whether the search criteria should be case-sensitive by selecting the Match Case checkbox, or
whether or not to include details in the search by selecting the Search Details checkbox.
When an event or detail with the specified text is found, the line containing the text is highlighted. Press F3 to perform
a Find Next operation which will look for the next occurrence of the specified text. When the last occurrence is found a
message box indicating this condition will be posted. To change the search criteria at any time, press Ctrl+F to invoke
the Find Dialog.
The Filter Dialog can be used to select which events will be captured. This aids in debugging a particular issue by
eliminating events that do not pertain to a particular issue. For example, most clients will make continuous GetStatus
calls into the server to determine that the server is still available. Filtering this event will simplify the diagnostics data to
examine.
