4.6.5.4 PakBus Graph
PakBus Graph is a utility that graphically depicts the connections in a PakBus 
datalogger network. It provides a look at RTDAQ's PakBus routing table. In 
addition, the utility can be used to change the settings of a PakBus device. 
The window for PakBus graph is divided into three sections: the list of PakBus 
devices, a graphical depiction of the PakBus network, and the log messages for 
PakBus communications. The list of devices and the log can be toggled off by 
clearing the Show List View and Show Log options, respectively. 
Software servers are identified in PakBus Graph by the color green. Other 
devices remain colorless unless they have been selected with the mouse cursor. 
When selected, they are colored cyan. 
The default PakBus address for RTDAQ is 4090. Other PakBus devices will 
be shown by name and address, if known. 
4.6.5.4.1 Selecting the PakBus Network to View
When PakBus Graph is opened, it is set to view the first PakBus network on 
the computer on which the datalogger support software is running. Each 
PakBus datalogger in RTDAQ is set up in its own PakBus network. If more 
than one PakBus network is set up on the computer, the different networks can 
be viewed individually by selecting a port name from the PakBus Network 
drop-down list.
