5. PakBus Troubleshooting Tools
5.1 PakBus Graph
PakBus Graph is a LoggerNet utility that graphically depicts the devices and
connection in a PakBus datalogger network. In PakBus graph, the PakBus
devices are represented at least by their PakBus address and by their name if
the device has been configured in the LoggerNet Setup screen. Some PakBus
settings are viewable and editable through PakBus Graph.
Right-clicking on a device in the map will expose available options. Some of
those options may include Edit Settings and Ping Node, which can be useful
when troubleshooting.
Edit Settings will request the settings from the device. The settings for the
device will open in a new window. Settings that are editable can be changed
from this window.
Ping Node allows the user to test communication to the device from other
nodes on the network. The results are displayed for the user and are useful
when troubleshooting communication links.
5.2 LogView
LogView is a utility installed in the LoggerNet program directory, which can
be found by default in C:\Program Files\Campbellsci\LoggerNet. LogView not
only has the capability of displaying log files but also includes a PakBus packet
filter that can parse low-level log file packets into human readable information.
