Chapter 7 Monitoring the 1757-ABRIO Module

Refer to the following table for block transfer write diagnostics.

Monitoring the Scanner Log

The scanner log displays messages from the 1757-ABRIO firmware,
showing its normal operation and error messages. It may be useful in
tracking down errors and for Technical Support.

To monitor the scanner log, select Tools>Monitor Scanner Log.

To clear the scanner log, select Edit>ClearLog or click the Clear Log
button.

To copy the contents of the log to the Windows clipboard for use in
another application, select Edit>Copy or click Select All then the Copy
button.

Ignored Req

Running count of update requests ignored by the block
transfer module.

Prot Errors

Running count of protocol errors for this block transfer read.

If this counter is incrementing, the module isn't responding
correctly. Possible causes are length mismatch, invalid reply.

Request Count

Count of the number of times on successive scans this block
transfer was requested. If this is consistently a high number,
increase the requested update time - the module cannot
respond quickly enough at the current requested time. The
counter applies to both the BTR and BTW for this module.
